Subject: [opensuse] wlan browse
Hello :-)
I'm very new regarding to WLAN...
I try to configure on my brand new laptop acer 9410Z the WLAN card
Broadcom 94311MCG.
This card is seen by Yast, but I can't make it work.
The problem may be worst because the only network I have as wifi is
the very same I have as eth gigabit card, so it may conflict?
However I could make the card work in windows...
My router allows me only to have a wep key (no open net available). I
use an Hex one.
in network manager, I give the ESSID (name) jdd_home, the card is
seen, I give the key, and the network manager keep asking if I want an
open system or a shared key (none of the answer works though), than
searching it fails
isn't a "browse" capability, where I could see what wifi networks are
available, at least I could know if this is a hardware problem or a
software/config one!! (I can do this with my cell phone :-)

Network Manager has known issues with WEP. In the past I've been able to get to it work by performing one of the following steps:
-To see other network set SSID to "any" in YAST network card module for WLAN card
-Set the WEP key on router to key#1
-Use Open System
-make sure you select the correct encryption option
-removing WEP on the router and associating the PC, then re-enabling WEP router.
HTH,
James
