Hello.
Im having touble getting my laptop Wireless to work.
OS: Linux 3.4.11-2.16-desktop i686
System: openSUSE 12.2 (i586)
KDE: 4.8.5 (4.8.5) “release 2”
Id be grateful for any help/suggestions.
I entered the commands as suggested on
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/391535-my-wireless-doesnt-work-primer-what-i-should-do-next.html
and my output is shown below.
Thanks in Advance
P.S
i) I was surprised to find output in both 2a (usb) -and- 2(b) pci
Does this mean my wireless hardrware is somehow connected by both usb and pci?
ii) I was also surprised at the output of rfkill that it showed 2 entries for wlan (“hp-wifi” , and “phy0”)
Maybe the answer is related to i) ?
