If you want to use “ifup”, then you will NEED to create the file
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 as it appears that your device is
called wlan0. Note: there is no file called ifcfg-wireless.
To create the file, you can either edit it yourself following the
details described by ‘man ifcfg’ as audmented by
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template, or you can use YaST to fill in
all the necessary variables. Once you get the necessary file, you will
be able to ‘sudo ifup wlan0’ to get your device to come up.
