Yast fails to save network configurations

cduru336 · March 23, 2011, 2:16am

I’ve spent two days trying to get this to work to no avail.

here is the output of a recommended diagnosis script to start.

short version is …
!!! CND0120E: Network card ra0 has no IP address
!!! CND0490E: No access point with your SSID detected on interface ra0
!!! CND0330E: WLAN credential problems exist on interface ra0
!!! CND0310W: Classic network configuration with ifup was detected. Configuration with knetworkmanager is much easier
!!! CND0360E: Wireless connection tested with an existing wired connection on interface eth0. Unplug the cable and execute the script again

before we get going, knetworkmanager fails to save changes i make to the device ra0.

thanks for your help in advance.

As long as you get the above response, the NetworkManager is not enabled. You need to go to:

YaST / Network Devices / Network Settings / Global Options Tab and select “User Controlled with NetworkManager”.

And see if that helps. If you are trying to use Wireless you also need to load the KWallet with NetworkManager to keep your Wireless Password as well.

Thank You,

ok, so an update. I reinstalled with Gnome. Yast still wont save using the traditional method (ifup) but… network manager for gnome (nm-applet) does work. YAY.! still a curious bug or two to work out on this setup. I would call this partially fixed.
