please see the second image under wireless driver installation in above link.it is a image of a network manager when we clicked the network manager icon in system tray.but i am not getting the like that.if i click that icon i will see only a small window only with enable networking,enable wireless and manage connections only.how to get a detailed windows like that in the image.
In order to see the network setup as shown there you need to install the package called plasmoid-networkmanagment which requires that you remove NetworkManager-kde4. To do this go to:
YaST / Software / Software Managerement and search on plasmoid. When you check the package plasmoid-networkmanagment you will get an option to uninstall NetworkManager-kde4 or to not install plasmoid-networkmanagment so elect to delete the package NetworkManager-kde4. If all goes well you need to restart openSUSE to start using the new one.
Be aware that I am using all NetworkManager files from the original openSUSE repositories. If you mix up NetworkManager versions, such as those that can be found in the GNOME or KDE specific repositories, NetworkManager can stop working properly. In general you should ONLY add in Packman to the default repositories that have been added for you when you installed openSUSE. Be for warned about this problem of mixed version of the NetworkManager.
Thank You,
I’m using mobile broadband.under mobile broadband i can select my country,network provider and can connect automatically.(will not enter dial up number or pin number).will it in plasmoid manager(it is very important to me)?
This guide who I have sent you through e-mail based on network manager.
Also you can install network manager through terminal
su
# zypper install plasmoid-networkmanagement
Switching to the plasmoid for NetworkManager does not change the Network Manager configuration settings or its abilities. You would go into Manage Connections and then the Mobile Broadband settings tab. I don’t use this configuration and so I am not the expert on your options within that section of NetworkManager. I would however, go here if you have not before and create a new connection and see what can be entered.
Thank You,
Thank you stamos,james.i want to know is there any system restore facility(using it we can restore our system to a desired date)in opensuse like windows.if i can’t do this(mobile broadband)in plasmoid(mobile broadband is my only network connection way)i will use that system restore to get back kde network manager.
Stamos,to use that way first our system should have the correct modem driver(mobile modem).plasmoid manager is not having this.i tried it on Linux mint kde.
There is no backup like that used in Windows and really, such a thing is not required. However, system backup is always a good idea. I might suggest you look at Duplicity and its GUI front end called Deja Dup. You must configure Deja Dup for where you are backing up to. I use an external hard drive myself. To install this go to:
YaST / Software / Software Repository and search on duplicity and then install deja-dup and duplicity. You can find some more info on deja-dup here: Deja-Dup
Thank You,
I do not thing that it must has the correct driver the main theme is recognizable.
Sorry Stamos, but this is completely wrong. To get hardware working and available for use in applications/programs/widgets/plasmoids, the hardware needs:
- The correct driver/firmware to be installed. This can be a kernel that has the driver in it, or a separate package.
As long as this has not been provided, every other effort to get the hardware working is useless.
Hi Knurpht maybe you do not know this : I have sent @vike4 a guide about wireless through mail. It is in Greek and I translated in English. That’s I mean that the main theme is recognizable of his system. Of course anything hardware needs the correct driver to operate, I agree with you, unless if OS has the correct driver, so it is ok for your hardware.
I have found a repository from wireless but I am not sure if it is good and correct for this thread.
Could you check it Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless
Stamos,what is that repository driver?
It is a repository driver for wireless, but i do not know if it is good, I am checking it now, I do not know if it is stable, so I want to ask Knurpht for that. I want to be sure for that. Do not install yet, until we are sure for that. I want to be 100% sure that it is ok.
is it a wlan driver? Waiting for knurpht’s reply.
It is, yes. And you may need usb-modeswitch as well. Question first:
If you connect the device, or boot with it plugged in, then start Yast, go Network - Network Settings, does anything show up?
Could you as well please open a terminal window, issue commands below, and post the output of the commands?
ip addr
su -c ifconfig
(enter rootpassword)
su -c lsusb
which device are you talking about?yes,there is a pop up window os appearing.the pop up windows says"there is a ndiswrapper configuration detected.but the kernel module is not mobprobed.do you want to mobprobe ndiswrapper?"
ok following are the outputs
