Bit of a noob to linux, so sorry if this is an obvious question. Ok, I did what the sticky said, and typed “sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan” in the terminal, and got:
lo Interface doesn’t support scanning
eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning
wmaster0 Interface doesn’t support scanning
wlan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning: Network is down
pan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning
Any idea what this means? Any help would be appreciated.
The stickies say a lot more than only that, so post more information (as explained in the stickies).
welcome to the OpenSuse forums ; we hope you enjoy using the OpenSuse variant of linux;
try this script to see if it can help sort your wireless issue:
Benutzeranleitung/Usersguide von/of collectNWData | collectNWData.sh
you download a script; it analyses your wireless setup; it may well suggest how you can fix it; if you cannot sort that, post back to this forum what the script says; so copy and paste the results of the script;
let us know if it is helpful to you
the very helpful framp, who developed this script even has a way of running the script by just clicking with your mouse
depending on your prior computer experience, that may be very helpful;
