I know little or nothing about wireless as I created a network in win 7, installed Ubuntu and it recognized my network
immediately and I was on line effortlessly
Suse was a first choice and its been on my HD a while with no access. So this will be my last shot to gain some insight to getting it on line. Please help
and thanks
Could we please see
/sbin/lspci -nnk
I discovered with the Realtek 8172 wireless chip, that it might be a support issue I
so I tried downloading and compiling the driver for this chip. It works Resolved
Thanks

What is an 8172? Please post the ‘/sbin/lspci -nn’ or ‘lsusb’ outputs.
There are some indications on the web that this device uses the rtl8192se
driver. If so, it is included in kernel 3.0+ and will be supported in openSUSE 12.1.
You are not the only one with this problem. A search of google shows that very well. I have found that the gnome network manager, nm-gnome, doesn’t work properly. It starts and loads but that’s about it. And it blocks knetworkmanager from loading. To make matters more fun neither does yast when you select ifup. With yast it does connect with ifup but your settings are lost on reboot. How I solved the problem, and it’s a good indication if where yast is going wrong, is to create a file in /etc/init.d and call it ifup ( how creative .) In that file write:
#!/bin/bash
ifup wlan1 #<- this is the name of my wireless adapter yours could be different
Make sure this file has execution right ( chmod +x /etc/init.d/ifup )
and then make a link in rc5.d that looks like S03ifup ( Use ln -s /etc/init.d/ifup /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S03ifup ) You name it S03 so it starts in the correct order. And make sure yast is set to use the ifup method.
Now find what your interface is called. You can find it in yast, go to Network Devices -> Network Settings and look in the lower box. There you will see, below the BusID, a line that says DeviceName. Or from the commandline type /usr/sbin/iwconfig and it will show you your wireless adapter and it’s name. That will be the name you use in the script in /etc/init.d/ifup
It’s not hard but shouldn’t have to be done that way. I only had the problem after I upgraded to 11.4
If you need more hand holding the this get a mac.
