Hi
This is PHANI.
I installed openSUSE 11.4 in my laptop as dual boot.But wireless drivers are not working.Please give a suggestion to work wifi.
While waiting for the wireless guru’s to chime in on this thread, you could start by reading the stickies in this subforum area: Wireless
Its highly unlikely just advising you have a Dell Inspiron n4010 and openSUSE-11.4 will be enough information to give to anyone to help. Those stickie provide advise as to the information you need to provide.
Some elaboration is needed. Quite a bit.
Is NetworkManager not picking things up? What are you running, KDE or Gnome?
A post of
rfkill
and
lsusb
will be helpful, you’ll probably have to install rfkill
sudo zypper in rfkill
In the meantime, make sure your wireless switch is on and try
su
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "your network name" ap ma:ca:dd:re:ss
dhcpcd wlan0
Where the ma:ca:dd:re:ss is the mac address of your router. You may find it with
iwlist wlan0 scan
