I click on Scan for Networks, and get a window with the rows Network Name | Mode | Quality | WEP Grotto | Managed | 79 | on XP sees 6 other nets in range. For my router, above looks ok to me except that WEP is actually WPA, and Mode is actually ad-hoc, though yast forced me to lie and say Managed in order to give a passphrase. The configuration editor button still asks for root password, then returns to the main window with no message or error. *** Repeating your previous procedure: embelex:/home/john # ifup eth1 Network interface is managed from NetworkManager NetworkManager will be advised to set up eth1 but it cannot be assured from here.
