Hello,
I have a desktop computer which has a PCI Wi Fi card. Internet is only available via Wi Fi.
When I installed OnepSuSe LEAP, it started up and Wi Fi was not working. I went into YaST and found that "Wicked services" was set as the network setup manager, but I found no way to start wicd. So I was stuck without it.
wicked is started automatically.
When I (with some prompting from IRC) switched the setting to Network manager, YaST wanted to install a package and the Internet was not there. Thankfully I got around this by getting an open wifi network up temporarily and connecting to it using iwconfig.
Now everything works and there is a nice Network Manager widget in the KDE system tray. But why was wicd the initial setting and where was its UI?
wicked's UI is 'vi' :-) Why wicked was chosen by default, I'm not sure. I guess YaST has some magic that determines when or when not to use Network Manager. I know it is the default on laptops, but probably not on desktops. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
