Hi Verner,

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?

Please get back if you still have problems after reading the above link.

Hi list and Timo, - thank you for your reply. I read the info which was pointed to. Beautiful screenshots...I never saw anything remotely like that on any of my boxes. I've got 3 laptops, 2 IBM ThinkPad R50s and one DELL Precision M90 running SuSE10 and SuSE10.2 - KNetworkManager clearly does not look like that on any of them. As I try to re-install the wireless interface, I suddenly get a dialogbox that says: "(translated...) This unit requires firmware in order to function properly. I may be installed from the openSUSE FACTORY 10.2 add-on CD. In order to install the firmware, add the add-on CD to your YaST installtionsources and return to this dialog" In other words, I'll get back :-) -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
