how do you want your lap top to connect to a network ?
Ideally, automatically on boot up.

On notebooks, you probably want ethernet to connect when the cable is plugged in, rather than at boot up.
Yes - but I am not bothered about ethernet for the moment. If it connected when the cable was plugged in, that would be great. But that is decoration on the icing on the cake.
A functioning wireless connection is essential. Without it the laptop can simply not fulfil its raison d'être, and will be of no use.

Given that the computer was previously talking to the Wifi router, though no further, indicates, at least, that the drivers are working with that hardware. This means that the problem is something in your configuration, though I have no idea, beyond that, where your problem lies. You mentioned in another note that the network configuration does not survive a reboot. That indicates a problem beyond networking, if a configuration is not saved. I use WiFi on my notebook and find it works very well. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
