- Knetworkmanager isn't. At my house, under OS10.3, I could find 10 – 12 wireless networks, which were in a neat list. Under OS11, I can find 2 weak signal networks, and not even my own.
There is bug report about this. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=416508
Hello Rajko,
Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of this bug report yet. However, my post was written from the perspective of "Joe User". And in my experience, Joe User might (if you're lucky) read the help file supplied, but doesn't know what Bugzilla is, let alone check it out. Joe User would probably think "Hey, this Linux thing doesn't even see my wireless network. It's crap."
Wireless networks have become standard, KNetworkmanager should work with them. Period. I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation.
By the way, as of this morning (since last update), KNetworkmanager doesn't do anything anymore. It doesn't see any networks, and even if I plug in my ethernet cable, it says it's not connected. If I specify my IP address manually, it works. It'll probably be fixed in the next update, but I think KNetworkmanager is a vital piece of the desktop, which should work.
Same goes for system sounds, which do not play. I do have sounds with video though.

Another thing I don't like about it is in order to connect to an access point, you have to save the connection, even if you're not likely to ever use that AP again. This means you then have to delete that connection. It would be nice if saving were an option, rather than compulsory. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
