Okay, I just upgraded to 11.1 on my laptop, after finally installing it
I have some questions about the latest version of NetworkManager. In
10.3 it used to show a dialogue with info such as IP addresses, traffic,
packets, and signal strength for wifi. If I right clicked it would show
the menu with different wifi networks listed and I could connect to them
from here. I do not like how the new network manager works? Is there
some way i can configure it to work like the one in 10.3, and if not how
would I install the version from 10.3.
It should show you the available locations. Strange…I noticed some
quirks in my upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1, and ended up doing a clean
install, which fixed most of the quirks.

It’s working, but I think it a newer version? Anyway, I don’t like it,
it seems to remove features like, mine only shows the network I am
currently connected to. It has also seemed to remove this dialog, http://michaeleberhart.net/linux/opensuse/10_3/KNetworkManager.png
It might be possible. you would have to delete the existing one. And see
if you can get the source code for an older version and build it
yourself from a konsole.
Or one can just use wicd. Work like a charm for me.
You just have to disable knetworkmanager from Yast > Network, and
switch to traditional ifup method for dealing with network cards.
