Hi all,
I’m new to openSUSE, i’ve been on ubuntu for a while but as i got a new pc i’ve decided to move on openSUSE but i can’t figure how to make my wifi controler works
when i do hwinfo --wlan, i got nothing
and when i do ifconfig i juste have answer about eth0 and lo0
So i think that ’ s like openSUSE juste don’t see the controller.
Thanks for your help
and sorry for my english

I think you need this repo
Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/11.4-update
Then use Compat Wireless from there
Obviously you need a wired connection to do this
See this page
HCL:Network (Wireless) - openSUSE
The above assume you are using 11.4, only you didn’t say…
Ok, you assume good sorry for that
But i dunno what i can do with tjis repo i install compat wireless.rpm?
Do you have a wired connection?
yes I do have one
Please open a terminal

Click this and follow the requests
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/driver:wireless/openSUSE_11.4/compat-wireless-kmp-default.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A11.4&query=compat-wireless
Now i can configure the wireless but it is still unavailable
the check box “activate the wireless conneection” i can’t click it
Please make sure you have run
su -
zypper up
And rebooted the machine
It’s dowloading an huge quantity of data so I’ve to wait to see if it’s working but in advance thks a lot
I’m hoping the OneClick works OK, sometimes they cause problems
Just don’t panic and be patient. I say that because I have to go sleep very soon.
It didn’t work
No i’m back at the situation at the begining of all this

Besides the compat-wireless package, you will also need the kernel-firmware
package as well.
it was already installed so i update it but that change nothing :s
Are you using kde or gnome?
And you are using network manager to manage the connections?
kde and Knetwork manager
What version of KDE are you using? I’ve had problems with the KDE Network manager on earlier versions of KDE (even up to 4.6 I think). I would install a network manager plasmoid. I think it was “plasmoid-networkmanagement”.
You can search for it in YAST, and if you can’t find it there, try here software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.4
Good luck
