Hi all

I'm trying to switch from Ubuntu to openSUSE 11.2 and really like the
feeling of the system and setup.

My biggest problem is with my wireless network. It doesn't connect to
my wireless router using WPA-PSK security. There isn't shown any errors
to me on the desktop.

The netcard is:
# WLan: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN
# Lan: Realtek RTL8111/8168 Gigabit Ethernet

lspci shows:
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or
AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)

There isn't any problem to use regular ethernet or none encrypted
wireless network. Do I need to activate support for WPA-PSK in a
special way? On Ubunutu I used GNOME so I'm not so familar with KDE
yet.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I've found a similar problem with Wireless connection. It does not
assign an IP address to "wlan0" although KNetworkManager shows connection
to the router. If i connect with cable then "eth0" gets an IP address
fine.

It's this bug:
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553908

Fix available as described at :
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4112
and will soon be available as an online update.

If you don't want to test the update out, the workaround is to edit your
wireless connection, go to IP settings, change the view to Routing, clear
both checkboxes, and log out and back in again.

Let me know how you get on.


Will

Thanks. will do.
