IF anyone one can HELPPP!!! I would Greatly appreciate it…
use YaST =>Network Devices => Network Settings. Under the “Global Options” tab, click on the “User Controlled with Network Manager” button.
Now you should see the NM applet. Click on it and check the popup. If the “Enable Wireless” checkbox is inactive (gray), there are several possibilities :
(a) Your wireless device driver is not loaded or (b) the necessary firmware is not available.
For (a), check
hwinfo --network
and check the “Driver” line. If it is blank, then you need to run the command
/sbin/lspci -nn
Post the results of these commands using the code tag please.
You’d normally have to install the Nvidia drivers, either from the repositories or the hard-way (which is not that hard). Have you already done anything like that? If not you must still be using Nouveau drivers, not Nvidia proprietary.
ETA: Also, since you are new, have a look at: Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide
You’ll get multimedia right AND have the opportunity to take the package management for a ride. Be sure to follow the guide for 11.4 (post 4).
Yea just using the drivers that can when i just installed it about an hour ago.
was reading something about the easy way and hard way, looks like hit the buton and it updates repos with the nvida driver then just reboot right???
