I try to configure on my brand new laptop acer 9410Z the WLAN card Broadcom 94311MCG. This card is seen by Yast, but I can't make it work. The problem may be worst because the only network I have as wifi is the very same I have as eth gigabit card, so it may conflict? However I could make the card work in windows... My router allows me only to have a wep key (no open net available). I use an Hex one. in network manager, I give the ESSID (name) jdd_home, the card is seen, I give the key, and the network manager keep asking if I want an open system or a shared key (none of the answer works though), than searching it fails isn't a "browse" capability, where I could see what wifi networks are available, at least I could know if this is a hardware problem or a software/config one!! (I can do this with my cell phone :-) yhanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- Network Manager has known issues with WEP. In the past I've been able to get to it work by performing one of the following steps: -To see other network set SSID to "any" in YAST network card module for WLAN card -Set the WEP key on router to key#1 -Use Open System -make sure you select the correct encryption option -removing WEP on the router and associating the PC, then re-enabling WEP router.
