hi everyone
i’ve been trying this the hole day, and i’m desperate so i register in this forum.
i bougth a hp-dv41140go with a wireless card intel link5100, and i installed opensuse11.1 coz 11.0 did not recognaize it,i’m using this machine to share my internet cx with one vista and one xp. OK, it does work, but first i have to make any comand with wlan0 as su to set up the card, eventhough at the device activation section in yast2 i selected “at boot time”. the same happens with the dhcp-server, i have to select start in its yast2 section to make it work, it doesn’t matter how many times i select “when booting”.
here is some more information.
this is the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0
