I installed 11.2 and KDE 4 on a laptop last night and had some issues with knetworkmanager for which I did not find a quick answer here but eventually figured it out so might help some others:

- knetworkmanger by default wants to use Kwallet, if you disabled kwallet then knetworkmanger will not connect anymore. You need to re-enable kwallet again in personal settings, advanced or configure knetworkmanger to not use kwallet (see next tip)

- knetworkmanger can work fine without kwallet if you go to the settings and select to store the secrects in a file.

- if for some reason knetworkmanger wont start by itself go to ~/kde4/share/config and open networkmanagentrc with kwrite and make sure autostart=true

I just installed Opensuse 11.2 from a DVD..The wireless connects to the network, i see that it is active..but it wont connect to the internet..

However, in the same laptop, I used the live CD last night and i was able to connect to the net without any issues..

I have a Intel Pro/Wireless 5100 AGN wireless card..

I went thru the sticky in this forum and here is the output.. Please advice me as to what to do to make it work.

I am not sure what is happening..even though i have not images.. it doesn't allow me to post the output of

Very pleasant surprise: my D-Link G122 (rev C.) wireless USB stick finally gets detected by default! Did not pick up network address until after I reset my router, but after that it runs smoothly.

Now for some additional praise:

* The artwork is simply stunning

* Boot time to a fully up-and-running KDE desktop: 20 seconds (used to be 35-40 seconds on previous versions... cut in half, that's weird, but cool)

* KDE 4(.3?) is awesome! Finally consistent 'open file' boxes for Firefox, Openoffice too. And in software heaven with Dolphin, Okular, Amarok (although sometimes it's sluggish)

* Only one complaint: setting things up is almost too easy :p (at least with the 1-click installs for multimedia, nvidia, etc)

Great job on this version! :)

I just finished my 11.2 install and trying to get my Sierra Compass 597 working, with no luck.

I downloaded the new sierra driver (version 1.7.12 for 2.6.31 kernel) installed it.

Then set up kppp as per these instructions

Connect to: WWAN
Login ID: user
Pwd: user

Accounts
========
Connection Name: WWAN
Phone number: #777
Authentication: PAP/CHAP
Use Lock File: checked
Callback type: None
IP: Dynamic
Gateway: Default

DNS: Automatic

Modems
======
Modem name: ATT
Modem device: /dev/ttyUSB0
Flow control: Hardware
Line termination: CR
Connection speed: 921600
Use lock file: checked

4) Insert Compass 597 USB modem and wait for kernel to see it.

user@Toshiba:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1199:0023 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

user@Toshiba:~$ dmesg | grep -i ttyusb
usb 2-1: Sierra USB modem (3 port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usb 2-1: Sierra USB modem (3 port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
usb 2-1: Sierra USB modem (3 port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2

5) Then, enter the following commands:

user@Toshiba:~$ sudo modprobe -r usbserial

I get a FATAL error here, Module usbserial is in use, I tried with compass 597 in and out, neither works?

user@Toshiba:~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x0023

6) Launch “KPPP” from “Applications” -> “Internet” and try to Connect. If works, should see something like this:

Here I get kppp can not find /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 Please make sure you have set up your modem device properly and/or adjust the location of the modem device on the modem tab of the setup dialog

I assume its because of the modprobe -r error, but not sure how to fix this?

when I do lsusb Sierra is at Bus 002 Device 008: ID 1199:0023 Sierra Wireless INC.

kernel is 2.6.31.5-0.1 x86-64
KDE 4.3.1 release 6

I'd just like to say, 11.2 is a gorgeous OS. Well done!
