2917.894023] martian source 255.255.255.255 from 192.168.0.125, on dev wlan0
2917.894039] ll header: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:40:01:2b:00:56:08:00
And wpa_supplicant.log shows:
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
WPS-AP-AVAILABLE
Not sure what above is showing me however.
I also went into Yast -> Network Devices -> Network Settings and did an edit on Realrek WLAN controller it seems when you do this it decommissions Network Manager.
I am now seeing activity in wlan0 in monitor tool GKrellM, which didn’t happen previously.
This is 32-bit openSuse 11.2 I currently have installed.
I have not a clue where I’d turn off network encryption.

You are changing from “User controlled with NetworkManager” to
“Controlled with ifup”. I do not think you have the experience to do that.

I do not know this tool.

Agreed, and I’m back to NetworkManager. Unfortunately, the little monitor app I use is back to showing no activity on wlan0.

That is controlled by the Access Point.
For WPA2 security, I do not have adjustments for encryption settings. Just Cipher Type = TKIP and PSK/EAP = PSK. I believe the connection Security of WPA2 has the ability to automatically drop back to WPA on this AP if needed, and will permit simultaneous WPA2 and WPA connects…
What I’ve found in AP settings, I’d need to drop back to WEP security to have encryption setting adjustments available.
Beyond that, I’m a bit lost. My Acer netbook connects fine w/LinuxMint 9, this laptop connects fine wifi with Win 7. All AP settings are basically the same last couple years.
Realtek RTL8191SE fully recognized with Kubuntu 10.10 i386.
I spent several months trying to get Realtek wifi working with openSuse. To no avail. And 11.4 also doesn’t have the pieces to recognize this wifi.
So, the other day I grabbed Kubunto (above version), running from CD I went into Network Manager, to add a wireless link, and guess what? I was able to scan for wifi routers, so I finished setting up the link, and my wifi connects just fine now. And this was with Kubunto, right ‘outa the box’.
So I did some install to drive work, set the wifi link back up, and all is fine and dandy. My Toshiba Satellite A505-S6020 is very happy over this, as am I.

Someone from Ubuntu grabbed the vendor driver from the Reaktek site and created
a package. Did you try the wireless repo for openSUSE? It might be there. I
don’t know as I devote my efforts to getting the improved version of that drive
(among others) into the mainline kernel where it will be available for ALL
distributions.

I didn’t look around wireless repo for openSuse. I was actually expecting it to be with 11.4 DVD, when I discovered it wasn’t I was close to emotional collapse.

Sorry I don’t work faster, but the earliest I could have been ready was kernel
2.6.39. Making 2.6.37 was never an option as I didn’t get the code from Realtek
that early.
