Alright. It's been awhile since i've tried suse, I seen that they updated to a newer verision, so i tried it out. I went through did a clean install of 10.2. Right out of the box everything worked fine (my wireless card and all). Yet after a couple days, knetworkmanager started to hold and pause at 28% like it used to. then flip back and stop trying to connect to my card.

I attempted to go through and reinstall knetworkmanager, that didnt help it still does the same thing. YET, if i go through and reinstall the entire 10.2 Open Suse. then it will work again for 2-3 days. Anyone have any idea what's going wrong? OR where i can look to find out? OR how i can start to fix the problem.

I do realize I only HAVE been coming here for a problem. Yet until I get suse online (reliabably) i can't be to active in any suse discussion cause i'm not learned in the OS. :-( I started to go to the opensuse channel on freenode, yet I can't even do that now. LoL. I appreciate any help> if you need to know any specifics just let me know.

OS: OpenSuse 10.2
Wireless card: PCI Wireless G. Model No. WMP54G
Router: Wireless G broadband router Model No. WRT54G
Computer: Dell D330 business Desktop.

After a fresh install, all i did was went into Yast. Hardware Network card. I picked the nontradition using Knetworkmanager. Setup my card with my wireless SSID, my WPA password. and went through the screens. After the end of teh config, knetwork manager popped up. Then It asked to saved the info to a wallet I set the wallet up, then presto it worked. Anyone have any idea on why it stopped working all of a sudden?

Alright. My connection started to work again. I really don't know why or how. All of a sudden I logged in from windows into SUSe after reading about a couple things I wanted to try and fix it. At the moment though I guess I dont have to. Hope I helped you out nessin.
