-=WELCOME=- fifteen days ago, when you first posted here…

its a holiday, so real answers might come slowly…therefore i try to
help as i can (i can’t actually answer your question, since i had to
have help to get mine working):

suggest you work through the three stickies at the top of this
forum…they get most people going (did me, i could not have connected
without them…) and if not, one of them gives specific instructions on
what info to post in your help request…

and, all helpers can see that you have already posted this problem in
another thread (please do not double post–stick to ONE thread) which
asked for crucial information, which you have not provided…

to get help, you must provide information–the helpers can’t guess
the right answer…but, following the stickies you can probably fix it
yourself…

if you are so new you don’t understand the instructions, ask for
clarity…after trying to help yourself…

NOTE: i see you wrote “I followed directions on several websites
about…” and then described your problem… so, word to the wise: Linux
has been around 20 years, if you use google and search on (say) “linux
network manager Centrino Wireless-N 1000” you might get an answer that
was 100% for a Ubuntu install in 2007 but may murder your networking!
so, when searching for openSUSE problems you should FIRST search only
inside the openSUSE universe, by using Google’s “site specifier”

site:forums.opensuse.org searches only these forums, and
site:doc.opensuse.org only the documentation section, and
site:en.opensuse.org searches only the wiki, example:

notice the output does not include instructions found on several sites…
