Re: [LINUX_Newbies] openSUSE Wireless help

I am not a SuSE user, but the usual wireless steps are install a driver, set
up your network with SSID & security (WEP or WPA) and then select the
network from the network manager and it will connect. It may ask for a
password to do so. So I would check first that your wireless is detected and
working, then if it is try to set up the network with your SSID and security
of choice which should match the one setup with your router.

To check on the network in Ubuntu I type lshw in a terminal, but that needs
to be installed. It comes with Ubuntu and SuSE is very different. Then I
look for the section called *-network. It should list the driver and
capabilities. If it says UNCLAIMED then you need a driver.

When asking for help it is good if you tell us about the hardware in
question, in this case, your wireless maker. Someone likely has experience
with it and can help you better.
