So I go into YaST2>Hardware>Hardware Information>Wireless LAN>Atheros WLAN Controller>Drivers and it reads: Active: Yes
modprobe: Yes
and seems to be just fine. However, I’m not picking up any networks at all. I can post all information needed, as long as I’m directed on how to find that information. This is my first time using opensuse and I just want a solid, flowing experience. I’m willing to learn how to make things work, but after looking on the forums, and doing some of the recommended things I still can’t get it to function.
My computer is an ASUS K55V
CPU = Intel Core i7 - 3630QM, 2.4Ghz

This information would be useful if your wireless device were USB. As it is
interfaced via PCI, it does no good. We need the output of
/sbin/lspci -nn
Does the output of ‘/usr/sbin/iwlist’ show a wlan0 device? If not, check the
output of the dmesg command to see if you are missing the firmware. If so, then
you need to run
sudo zypper install kernel-firmware
It will likely save some time if you read the stickies in this forum. Those 3
postings have a number of things to try.

Dear throwaway363,
As you may have seen in lwfinger’s post and in many other posts here in the forums, that we try to make copied/pasted computer output readable here by pasting them between CODE tags. You get the CODE tags by clicking on the # button in the toolbar of the post editor.
It is a bit hidden and certainly not obvious to a new user like you (btw welcome here), but I hope you will use them in your future posts.
How am I supposed to install firmware without internet connection?

As I explained, you should copy/paste directly from the termminal in between the CODE tags. Else it is useless.
I don’t have ANY internet connection on that laptop. I have to paste it into text editor, transfer it over through a usb, and THEN post. How do you expect me to copy/paste **** onto here without an internet connection?! That’s the whole issue, dude.
OK, I understand, but copy/paste into an editor is not needed. You can put the output directly into a file on the USB stick with output redirection:
iwlist -scan >/media/..../iwlistoutput
And then on the other system, you simply
cat /media/..../iwlistout
to a terminal screen again. IMHO easier then going through editors.

If you want us to read it, it needs to be inside the code tags.
Your wireless if f***ing working. Now configure it!
