Hello,
I’m trying now for several weeks (really) to get my wireless working -without success. Searched in various postings&forums - the same.
I’m using gnome-networkmanager and yast to configure wifi.
Problem: If I try to connect, the wheel turns, but wifi cannot connect.
Message:*(nm-applet:3255): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:878 drawable is not a pixmap or window

Message-Box opens with: secrets required by wireless network… (WPA&WPA2 Personal - Password:…)
well, it gets it - one more time trying to connect…
Wireless is protected by wpa-psk; passwords fritz.box and yast are the same.
