Default KNetworkManager Failed

Hi

I've been running openSuse 11.1 64-bit on my Acer 5536 at home for a few days now without problems. However, I switched on this morning and KNetworkManager has stopped working. I can see my home wireless network but cannot connect. I am not aware of making any system changes over the last couple of days.

What info do I need to post for help? I'm at work just now, so it will be later on when I can do this.

Alternatively, I would be grateful for any suggestions as to resolving this.

There are no error messages, unless they are written to a log. I don't know enough about the system to check this. Can you give me any pointers?

Hi

Afraid I've trashed the system (trying to change the boot order of Vista!!!). I've had to re-install Vista as I need a couple of Windows programmes.

I'll wait until 11.2 comes out and re-set up for dual boot. Thanks anyway.
