English Network/Internet

Hello

I installed openSuse 11.1 on my Imac 20" 2,66Ghz, and it works well.
But I have a problem, when I want to connect to the internet : my airport card is recognized as hardware, but I can’t connect with anything else that Ethernet, suse don’t recognize airport connect to the internet :\

What’s the problem ???

Thanks

I assume that airport card is a wireless card. Can you connect direct? if yes then the problem is with with the wireless card drivers. Post the reply and I will try to find where you can install the drivers from.

My airport card is reconized, so I think the driver is OK, plus the website says that my WiFi does works. My problem is that I don’t know how to connect to the internet with the WiFi to my freebox :s

PS : airport card is the wireless card of Apple

can you open a console and run the command:
ifconfig and post the result? (You might need to su to root).

This output only covers the loopback interface. I do not think that
your device’s driver has been fully loaded. I expect you need firmware.

Run the command

dmesg | egrep “ssb|b43”

and report the results. I expect that the “Airport” card is a Broadcom
device.
