I have a Belkin N150 Wireless router. I am able to connect it via Knetworkmanager! It works with Opensuse 12.1 quite well. One minor annoyance is that I cannot consistently connect to Twitter and facebook often resulting in reset connections and timeouts!
I did all the tests recommended in the how tos and the wireless worked in all but one.
I was just using the test examples supplied in the how tos at the beginning of this sub forum on wireless! As u can see it failed that particular test!

Whatever problem causes trouble in connecting to Twitter and Facebook, it is not
caused by your inability to ping 66.70.73.150.

That is the address of www.samba.org. If that works, then try
to the following:

ping -c 5 8.8.8.8
That is the address of one of Google's public DNS servers. If that works, then try
Thank you for the replies and I accept that my problem is not caused by my example above! But my problem persists in not being able to connect with Twitter and f
Facebook, while the wireless connection works pretty well with all other sites that I use!
I use mozilla browsers and my system is pretty up to date! Could you point me in any directions which could help solve this minor but annoying problem!
