Flawless wi-fi (wireless network) recognition by openSUSE 10.2 January 22, 2007

As I continue to work with openSUSE I continue to be impressed. Ever since I started working with this distro (openSUSE 10.2), I had been stuck in the office and never had a chance to get out to test its wi-fi connection. Today I did, and unlike my harrowing experience with Ubuntu, openSUSE was extremely painless and simple.
The only thing I had to do was <right click> on the KNetworkManager and then <click> the wi-fi network. And viola! It worked. No configuring needed at all. Of course, I had to figure that on my own, since there was no sign saying that I had to swap networks, But that, I think is a minor detail. (latest update: Just today, when I returned to the wireless network, I didn’t even have to click wireless. It automatically detected the connection… and I’m working on it.)
The wi-fi connection is through a D-Link modem, and I’m not sure what wi-fi card I have. But I know that it has worked.
Screenshot of KNetworkManager below. All I had to do was select the current service (radio) being provided shown in Wireless Networks.

f*** that i can’t get wi fi to work
it’s just convenient that you don’t know what card u have
well anything linksys d-link or pretty much anything else does not work
so mabey you have a MAGIC card hahah
Hi “wt evr”: I checked what card I have, and on my lenovo it’s the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG.
How do you just connect with not typing anything in? Don’t you secure your network with WEP or something? I’m running 11.0 and totally unable to get my D-Link WDA 2320 to work, although the OS did at least recognize the card out of the box. Unable to get the wired connection to work as well. :-(
i also have the same problem and i think is the new KNetworkManager that is refusing to serch for available networks…same as u eric it recks it and labels it as disabled….i use athroes firmware cade DWL650 extreme G card….i hope an update will soon be ready…but for now i really need a solution so any one with one should let us know
same problem here with kNetworkManager. I hope a fix comes out soon.
