Hello,
network manager isnt showing any network interfaces.
ifconfig shows wlan0 and eth0 and internet is working.
how can i get network manager to manage those connections?
thanks in advance
Hi,
If you go in yast->Network devices->networ card, make sure that the option “manage netwrok with network manager” is checked.
thanks that worked.
i hope opensuse sort out the stability issues of 11.4
after i made that change it become mega slow.
once i logged out and back in it seems to be ok.
On IRC I also helped someone with this solution.
On my 11.4 installs Network Manager has been enabled by default.
Has anyone installed openSUSE multiple times(any version), had this happen and might offer an observation/guess?
Tony
I have installed 3 times. Twice, NetworkManager was enabled. Once it was not.
The default setting was actually appropriate in all cases.
The two cases where NM was enabled were laptops. The case that defaulted to “ifup” was a desktop system.
Alright i made an account right now just to say thank you ive been searching on what to do for a long time now and i was going to give up on openSUSE and go to Kubuntu but now i dont have thank you so much for that i really appreciate it! Nd i really hope that openSUSE could just make it work on everything because i know on the live cd my internet just worked but after i installed it didnt but anyways thanks again

I must have a different version of Yast, because when I go to yast->network devices-> there is NO “network card” listed. So, there’s no way I can set “manage network with network manager”.
Pulling my hair out here – about to dump 11.4. Whatever happened to a simple network manager that automatically appears?

Just to save your hair and to encourage you to explore the GUI just a
little bit further:

openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64) 2.6.31.14-0.8-default “Evergreen” main host
openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop in VirtualBox
openSUSE 11.4 (i586) 2.6.39.2-36-desktop “Tumbleweed” in EeePC 900
That doesn’t mean you have a different version of Yast, there is yast which is the console version, and yast2 which is the gui version, both are in all versions of opensuse
What it means is it’s not detecting your wi-fi adaptor for some reason
You haven’t mentioned whether you have an onboard or a usb adaptor, there are commands you can run in a terminal (konsole in kde) which can show which devices are connected and help determine whether the system is actually detecting your adaptor, which is a good place to start
lsusb <— lists connected usb devices
lspci <— lists internal or ‘onboard’ devices
If you can’t see your device in the result of either of those it’s likely to be either a hardware issue or an unsupported device
It may be worth you reading these threads if you haven’t already, lots of good advice on how to configure and/or troubleshoot wireless in them

Thanks… It sorted out my problem…
