I appears ipw3945d was all I needed, although it took several hours and a suspension for the computer to figure out that it was working :-).
After thinking about it some more, it occurs to me that kNetworkManager was already functioning soon after I started ipw3945d. I recall reading in my investigations that only one network manager would function at a time, and I was trying to use KWiFiManager when KNetworkManager was in control. If I'd realized that sooner, and looked at kNetworkManager rather than KWiFiManager, I probably would have had complete success much sooner. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
