Hey,
I have the following problem with OpenSuSE11.2 with KDE 4:
I have an Intel 6200 WLAN Card integrated in my Dell Studio 15 (Which is said to be compatible with SuSE), but I’m not able to get it to work.
It’s not the card’s problem, it works flawless with Win7. iw, iwl6000-unicode, compat-wireless, I installed them all via YaST2. Neither ifup nor Networkmanager find the Network, when I enter the data manually, the status of the card remains “(not connected)”.
In another Forum there was said that you need to install the compat-wireless from the developer’s page, which I tried, but the installation failed for me. I had to compile the .run-file by using the command “make” which gave me the following error:
kuhfi@linux-s027:~/Downloads/compat-wireless-2.6.35-rc2> ./scripts/driver-select iwlwifi

One line, I think the one that’s the matter, means “No rule to create “modules”. End.”, sorry, I don’t have the english one since I use a german system. Before that, there was a different error message telling me that “build” doesn’t exist when I tried to use the command “make”, but it went away when I created a folder called “build” where it should have been according to the program (/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop/build), inside that folder I created a link to my kernel header’s folder (or the folder I supposed they were at… i think it was at /usr/src/linux or smth like that), since that was one of the instructions given at the compat-wireless page.
In case it matters, here is the output of uname -r:
2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop
I’m really hoping to get some help here after hours and hours of asking google… I think I’m going to reinstall SuSE in a few days, in case I don’t find a solution for my problem. When this still doesn’t help I’m fear that I’ll have to try another distribution, but I’d really like to use openSuSE. Thanks in advance. 
I’ll edit the suggested commands in a few minutes.
