Default Re: WLAN with Toshiba Satellite M60 (ipw 2200) on SuSE 11.1

Hello deltaflyer44,
many thanks for your response. I the meantime I have managed to get this working. It turned out that it was an issue with different configurations or setups between different desktops (KDE 3.5 and Gnome).
Somehow in KDE 3.5 I did not have neither Network Manager nor could I define networks otherwise - even though I followed the mentioned instructions from the start. When switching to Gnome it was all there immediately: network manager -> all WLANS were there, click on my WLAN, enter password,connect, works as charm.
This is probably a typical novice problem and and I can imagine that an experienced "penguin" would immediately know which missing packages need to be deployed under KDE to get this working equally.

Many thanks again,

Marin
