Hello.
I am very new to linux. I was trying to connect to wireless via cmd:

  • ifconfig wlan0 up
  • iwconfig wlan0 essid ‘XXX’
  • iwconfig wlan0 key XXXXXXX
  • dhclient wlan0 -> here i get error:
    ls: cannot access /var/run/netconfig//wlan0/: no such file or directory.

What must be done, can anyone suggest?
:frowning:

Please configure your wireless card using YaST (ifup method), or manually edit
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. That way, you will only need to issue ‘ifup
wlan0’ and it will work.
