Does the command

sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan

return info about your AP?

sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan

wlan0 No scan results

You need to examine the output from the command ‘dmesg’ to see what it shows.

That is what i posted in first thread

I can provide entire output in case you need additional info?

Here is the output as per the guidelines

bump…

Without an internet access I find it useless. Finally removed opensuse 11.2.

Thanks for all support

Make one more attempt: I have seen a similar situation; however, wiress worked with Live CD.

Ok, I just installed Opensuse 11.2 and had the same problem. And since I broke my head with a similar problem in opensuse 11.1 until I found a solution, I was able to find a solution for 11.2. I just got it to work, so I have not been able to fully test it. so far, soing an update and working pretty well.

Disclaimer: I’m not a programmer so I don’t know if what I did is correct, or maybe some steps were extra and were not needed. I don’t know, I just know it works!

  1. download this ralink driver for opensuse 11.2
    http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/NicoK:/drivers/openSUSE_11.2/noarch/ralink-firmware-1.1-3.5.noarch.rpm

once you download it uncompress it somewhere and using konsole, log in as root using su, and create this folder:

mkdir /etc/Wireless
mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA

then copy rt2870sta.dat (the missing file) into the just created folder:

cp /folder_where_you uncompressed_rta2870sta.dat/rt2870sta.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
  1. go to yast / network settings select the wireless card and go to edit / hardware / module nameand change rt2870usb for rt2870sta.

  2. go to global options, and select network manager.

  3. reboot, set network manager for your router and enjoy!

I hope this works for everyone!! Please post and let us know if it worked!!:wink:

this finally got my system to recognize the card, but freezes upon connecting to access point.

These directions worked well for me! Thank you for posting them.

I am using an Asus PCI G31 wifi device, which has a RaLink RT2561/RT61 chipset. The module file I had to have Network Manager point to was rt61sta.dat.

Network Manager worked, but ifup did not.

Can you provide the link once again?

I want to try once again iOpensuse, this time 11.3 RC

Do yourself a favor and wait for 2 days, 11.3 will be released by then. Though the RC’s are pretty stable, that’s my 2 cents
