This laptop has an Intel on-chip (i5) wireless, and I've never succeeded in getting that to work. In desperation I disabled networkManager and tried manual setting of the network. It still didn't work. I then tried a USB dongle - and that worked immediately. At that point I decided that I should try networkManager again - but I can't remember how/where I disabled it. I changed the /etc/sysconfig/network/config line to enable networkManager, but it isn't picking up the dongle, so I assume that more is needed.
I know that to some extent this is self-inflicted, but I'd welcome help to get the dongle (wlan1) working with networkManager.
Replying to you and Alin at the same time - "rcnetwork restart" gave
Shutting down the NetworkManager done Shutting down network interfaces: eth0 device: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) eth0 done wlan0 device: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35) wlan0 done wlan1 name: DWL-G122 802.11g rev.

I'll investigate the logs before replying to Rafal.
To add what alin said, it should be a drivers trouble.
I'm sure it is.
You didn't precise which intel chipset it is ( lspci can give information about it ) you can check in yast2 sw_single and search for firmware to be sure you have them installed corresponding to your card.
iwl6000-ucode - Intel 6000 Series Wi-Fi Adapters firmware iwl6050-ucode - Intel 6050 Series Wi-Fi Adapters firmware
ipw-firmware - Firmware for Intel PRO/Wireless WLAN Cards
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35) I have ipw-firmware and iwl6000-ucode installed. iwl6050-ucode is not installed - I have assumed that one or the other of these is needed, and also assumed that the auto-detection chose the correct one. I should also say that I never got it working with Fedora, either. Logs, next Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
