After a long struggle and thanks to the suggestions I got from the group
I have now Networkmanager running and trying to connect to my wifi. I
see the blue bar filling the rectangle for about 70% , and that is going
on and on!!!


In Yast in Network devices I see
User controlled with NetworkManager
Global options:
Ipv6 activate
Survey:
AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter
Mac:00:1e:4e:9e:cb:c6
BusID 0000:06:00.0
Device name: wlan0
Automaticly started at Startup
IP address assigned by DHCP
Hostname/DNS
Linux-7dam
Domainename Site
Designate hostname to a loopback-IP
Routing
Standard Ipv6-gateway
to be chosen as eth0, io or wlan0

In NetworkManager I filled in:
Name: SpeedTouchD17287
Tab Wireless
SSID: SpeedTouchD17287 (found during scanning)
Mode: Infrastructure
BSSID: 00:1e:4c:9e:cb:c6 (assuming this is the Mac code in Yast)
Restrict to interface: Wireless 802.11
MTU: Automatic
Tab Wireless protection
WPA/WPA2-personal (Although my router asks for WPA-PSK)
Password: ..........
Tab IP-address
Configured as: Automatic(DHCP)
Basic settings

What should be the last (I hope) I have to do?
Thanks,
Andre den Oudsten


Why do you have anything is BSSID? I've never seen that used in any of my wifi
connections. Also, all of my Restrict to interface say ANY.

Does your router do Mac Address filtering?




When I scan for Wifi signals My router has a code like Mac Address.
Whit that number in place of BSSID, or no BSSID and Interface any I
still have a partial blue bar, but no connection

I want to read the documentation but can't find anything about
Networkmanager in the KDE documentation.
Can anybody tell me where to look?
Thanks,
André
