I have the same issue as this thread
11.3 M7 Network Manager broken

I have a gateway t-1616 I put it to sleep, but the system hung up. When I did a force rebooting, the network manager never was started.

I got this message when I run nm-tool:
nm-tool

Wireless Access Points

Also, when I run #iwlist scan the wireless nic detects AP signals but never gets connected to any of them.

Finally, according to the other thread a possible solution is running #solid-network set networking enable, but I got the message:

#solid-network set networking enabled
QApplications: qAppName: Please instantiate the QApplication object first.
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib64/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so

I can easily fix this reinstalling the whole system, but that’s not the idea. I appreciate helping me to find a solution.

Has a bug report been raised on this.
It’s OK for me though.

If re-installing will fix it. I’m just wondering what changed since you installed until now…?

I just did a replacement-install of 11.3 RC2 and did not have that issue.

I have two network adapters (one internal wired gigabit, one USB wireless); as is typical, the wireless adapter requires a firmware install and a utility (zd1211-firmware is included on the openSuSE DVD, and has been since 11.0; however, it’s not present on the live images; also, the iw utility is not on either the DVD or the images). With the wired adapter connected (nVidia MCP73 gigabit picked up on-the-fly during install with autoconfigured DHCP), it grabbed the iw utility via Yast, configured the adapter with the settings I gave it (WPA2), and that was that.

Hello,

same problem after suspend here. Seems to be reported as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552862 but not solved yet.

Maybe you could join the bug discussion.

And did you try

chris@linux-gekz:/usr/share/man> solid-network set networking enabled

(as suggested here:11.3 M7 Network Manager broken? That worked for me.

Edit: You did so and produced an error ("QApplications: qAppName: …) - did you tried the command above as “root” or as the user currently logged into the graphical system ? I get this error when i log in as normal user and execute the command in a root shell, when executing as normal user it works.

Regards.
