I used the code from the “Tracking down wireless problems” page in the openSUSE forums, but to no avail.
echo “options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU” > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211
It said “Permission denied,” which seems ridiculous because there is only one account - my root account.
Any ideas on how to get around this issue? I’m a Linux noob, but try me.
Thanks!

Are you telling us that you only log into your computer as root? If so, you are
not only endangering your computer system, but also the rest of us! You should
have a user with normal privilege and use “sudo” when you need the extra privilege.
What I suspect is that you created a username “root” with normal privilege. You
can check that with the “id” command. The critical point will be the uid and gid
numbers.
To properly complete the above command, preface it with “sudo”.

I apologize for the dumb move!
Thanks Larry, I’ll give that a shot right now.
As **lwfinger **explains there should be only one user root with uid 0 (zero). Read this on how to use it:
