On my brand new SuSE10.2 (internet install, all like a breeze), my wireless (ipw2100 on IBM ThinkPad R50) gets detected and I'm able to set it up correctly. I can't connect to my AP, however.
I was under the impression that a thing called networkmanager would automagically select between cabled and wireless if one of them is available?
It isn't.
Please read http://en.opensuse.org/Projects/KNetworkManager .
In the panel, I've got this small icon down right, it's small "Knetworkmanager" aplet. Only I can't select anything sensibly from it?
Now what? What am I missing here?
NEGATIVE RANT: Now, I respect (a lot in fact) the enormous effort that the SuSE programmers are putting into a very fine distry. One that's been my absolute choice for many, many years. I lieu of the excellent overall quality, I am sorry, but I don't understand why a (seemingly, but that may not be the case) relatively simple thing like an automatic selection of network source is not ready. Or, is not well documented... I mean, I'm heavily plugging SuSE to ordinary (read Windows...) users, and I fail to understand this...it's so important.
POSITIVE RANT: Now, my experience with the SuSE10.2 install, the design, the new KDE userinterface, the overall feeling is excellent. It's a fantastic distro. The graphic design is a killer. Pleasant to the Eye and all. What a fab job!
I've skipped both rants. Please get back if you still have problems after reading the above link. Timo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
