I have a lenovo 3000 V200 laptop using openSUSE 11.4. The wireless was working fine before, but I could not get Knetwork manager to work, which I eventually found was an unresolved bug. <snip> The driver is iwlagn.
When I tried ifup wlan0, I get this response:
wlan0 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant Could not set interface wlan0 flags: Unknown error 132 Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP Failed to initialize driver interface RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 132 Starting DHCP4 client on wlan0. . wlan0 DHCP4 client NOT running RTNETLINK answers: Unknown error 132 Cannot enable interface wlan0. interface wlan0 is not up

I am at a loss as to what to do next to try and get my network card back up and running.

George, I use the traditional method by default. In yast -> Network Settings, I do the following: Global Options: [x] Traditional Method with ifup Overview: (select your wireless adapter and click 'Edit') General: Activate device -> At Boot Time Address: DHCP (both 4 & 6) Hardware: Module Name (Make sure you select your 'iwlagn' or proper module) Then it is just a matter of configuring your wireless access point settings and authentication. All this does is generate your /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 (or 1, etc..) file for you. In there, you should have something similar to: 18:22 alchemy:/etc/sysconfig/network> sudo cat ifcfg-wlan0 BOOTPROTO='dhcp' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' WIRELESS_AP='' WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='1' WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='psk' WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto' WIRELESS_CA_CERT='' WIRELESS_CHANNEL='' WIRELESS_CLIENT_CERT='' WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY='' WIRELESS_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD='' WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY='0' WIRELESS_EAP_AUTH='' WIRELESS_EAP_MODE='' WIRELESS_ESSID='skyline' WIRELESS_FREQUENCY='' WIRELESS_KEY='' WIRELESS_KEY_0='' WIRELESS_KEY_1='' WIRELESS_KEY_2='' WIRELESS_KEY_3='' WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128' WIRELESS_MODE='Managed' WIRELESS_NICK='' WIRELESS_NWID='' WIRELESS_PEAP_VERSION='' WIRELESS_POWER='yes' WIRELESS_WPA_ANONID='' WIRELESS_WPA_IDENTITY='' WIRELESS_WPA_PASSWORD='' WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='notmyrealpassword' If you use wpa and your box uses wpa_supplicant, then you will also need to check that the wpa_supplicant.conf file was generated and in /etc/wpa_supplicant. It will be similar to the following at a bare minimum: 18:24 alchemy:/etc/wpa_supplicant> sudo cat wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="skyline" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk=660d3df48ac7d4e1838a5ce0f4fcca57ba8a0c98317bc31....... } Check those and then issue the sudo rcnetwork stop and sudo rcnetwork start and check the log file to see what is happening and post if unsuccessful. -- David C.
