Failed to detect Wifi driver

English Network/Internet

Hi,
I am using opensuse 11.4, KDE. I’m using lenovo G570 LAPTOP.

In manage connection, the wireless tab is disabled. According to this"http://opensuse-guide.org/wlan.php", when I tried to find the chip set I am using, it doesn’t print anything.
