I have done an update using zypper dup, and after that, I losed gnome3. My problem is not the old gnome, but it is the possibility of making an hotspot with my wireless card from gnomenetwork-manager in gnome3. In gnome 2 I don’t have this posibility.
The point is that I want to set up my wirelless card in hotspot mode, so I can youse hostapd for an wifi device.
It’s working… at least I know that in fedora this was possible…
Can anybody help me, please?

Yes, but your wireless card may not be suitable. If you want to connect to more
than one other device, you should be asking “How do I get my computer to work as
an access point?”. In fact if you search the wireless forum, you will find an
article on what is needed. If you will be connecting to only one other device,
then you can use ad-hoc mode.
To run hostapd, I find it necessary to turn off NetworkManager and run with
ifup. I might be missing something, but I don’t think so.
Thanks for you reply! You said “Yes, but your wireless card may not be suitable”. It is suitable. All that I want is to turn my wireless card in hotspot mode. Hostapd does the rest of all. Gnome 3 had that function in MetworkManager, but Gnome2 not. I don’t know how tu use ifup, anyway I can mess things up…
Sory my mistake I’ve found network configuration at last, and I’ve found use as a hospot function too… I am newbe in opensuse. Today is the first time I’ve installed opensuse.
