So I wanted to make my netbook connected to my home wireless device. How to make openSUSE detected any wireless device and connect it? My router is HG532e and my netbook’s OS is openSUSE 13.2 with LXDE desktop and I’m using network manager and dhcp.

assuming your wireless card has been detected,
verify with cmd sudo lspci

if it can be seen, go to -yast, --Network Devices, —Network Settings
under the Global Settings tab select Wicked Services and enable your card
then follow the instructions in the Release notes to enable Network Manager

I’ve tried that and it didnt work. Any idea?

For my short term solution I just connect the netbook using lan cable to router. But it will be better if my netbook can connect to wireless device. Any idea?

5

did you try to set up the Connection via the NetworkManager Connection editor?

for the wireless router interface :-

are the following known,
SSID?
security type?
Password?
IP address?

I just installed the b43 firmware and driver and it detected the wireless card. And finally i set the wireless network on yast using wicked service on global option and setting up the wireless device and it works. Problem solved.

It’s good that you’ve solved it, but always a good idea to start by sharing your hardware details in cases like these, and what you’ve tried already. Otherwise we’re left to guess, as was the case here. For others who come searching, read the sticky’s at the beginning of this wireless forum, then ask here if help is still needed.
