wireless network works in suse 10, but not suse 10.1

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and with suse 10, everything worked right out of the box. Suse 10.1 finds the hardware correctly (both ethernet + wireless) and the hardware is (Yast/Hardware information):

1) Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (Rev 01)

2) Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

If I write "ifconfig" it finds eth0 = BCM4401 and lo = local loopback. No wireless...


The new thing in suse 10.1 seem to be that there is a "NetworkManager" instead of "KInternet" AFAIR...

Anyone got any clue about how I get wireless to work?


p.s. I forgot how to disable that annoying pc-speaker when inside a terminal window an error happens...


Best regards
Martin Jørgensen
