still no wireless on HP 2133 BCM4312
 

Hi,
I know this question was asked hundreds of times,but I sy=till can not fix my wireless. On the HP2133 with openSUSE 11.3 I have wired but no wireless connection. The driver is ssb
On Terminal I see
joseph@linux-t2w8:~> /usr/sbin/iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Can anybody tell me how to correct the problem?
Thanks a million!

Greetingz!
Okay, for starters, notice those lil :o faces? You can avoid that by wrapping the output you cut-and-pasted with [code] & [/code] tags.

Second, your output looks right for wlan0. So you need to use "NetworkManger" (or Knetwork manager if you're using KDE) to configure your WiFi card to connect to a Wireless access point (which I'm assuming you have a WAP somewhere, and you know the ESSID & whatever passphrase you need to connect, right?).

Third, have you ever successfully used this WiFi card to connect to the WAP in question? The reason I ask is because some WiFi cards do not support certain encryption implementations. This has been a source of many a frustration for me in the past, especially with cheap WiFi cards.

Fourth; I'm sure you've visted the openSUSE WireLess Forum, and saw the three sticky posts at the top of the forum, right?
