Hi: Just bought an hp nx 7400 laptop with Integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.
I'm trying to get the wireless working with openSuse 10.2 before wiping windows off the computer I set up my wireless router to communicate with the laptop. After replacing Windows with OpenSuse 10.2, I am unable to use wireless networking on the system. I have configured the wireless with the same parameters I used when Windows was on the system. The wireless hardware is recognized - I can configure the card in YAST - both the wired card and the wireless card are recognized. There is a wireless switch on the computer. I turn it on and the wirless indicator lights up on the switch and on the indicator lamp on the front of the laptop. When I run Network Manager it does not recognize that the system has wireless. When I run the KDE wireless monitor it states that wireless has been disabled. I see that Intel has a linux driver for this hardware: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ I am assuming installing this driver would get the wireless networking functional. I assume that since YAST recognizes that there is a wireless networking hardware on the computer that some of the necessary driver parts have been installed. Can anyone tell me how to determine what needs to be done to get this working, apart from completely installing the driver? Thanks, Gord -- Gordon J.
