Activate Wireless

Hello everyone.

I have a annoying problem, but I do have a fix.

Anyway, when I return from suspend2disk, my wireless card does not start to search for networks. Instead, just the power light is on. So, I have to go into YaST->Network Card->And then change the Global Option to Traditional Method with ifup and then finish. This seems to activate the card and then it starts scanning. And then cos I have all the keys in Network Manager (I use my laptop in loads of diff locations so easier to use that), I have o go back into Network Card and select Network Manager in Global options.

Now I have tried the usual of etc/init.d/network restart but no luck.

Any ideas to "activate the card" or force the thing to start scanning? I also tried to have the device activate at boot, on hot-plug, cable connection etc and no joy. I have also tried pulling the card out of the PCMCIA slot but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

*Bump*

Any ideas? I was thinking surely when you have it set to "hotplug", if should just simply "activate" the card and start scanning???

Thanks.

Yes, if you set it to user controlled and at hotplug, then SuSE 'should' see the card again. After unplug/plug.

Check in a console as root and use the command: tail -f /var/log/messages
Yank the card out and watch the magic
Plug it in and watch again

This might shine light to the issue...
