Unknown Connection Issue, Please Help

English Network/Internet
#1

Having just installed OpenSuse 11.3, NetworkManager identifies my wireless network, but repeatedly fails to make a connection.

Without further ado, here are the outputs to commands requested in the first sticky thread:

/sbin/lspci

Thanks in advance for any help provided!

Ideas, anyone?

Just a not so helpful comment… I’m also watching your thread with interest because your problem is similar to my recent thread

Hardware not found - Am I real SOL?

Thanks, Tony. It’s probably a healthy sign that our wireless experts are away from their computers on a Sunday – though I’m hoping they appear here eventually…:wink:

#7

I was thinking that someone would be interested in helping out here… anyone?

Crickets?

Another thread I read said with the error you’re getting you need to turn off power saving.

iwconfig wlan0 power off

Another thread says the same thing.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82589
Try that and see if it makes a difference. If not we’ll continue troubleshooting.
