opensuse 11.2 wlan problems

edvdrmark · 11-21-2009, 05:23 AM

Yesterday, I installed openSUSE 11.2. It looks great and everything goes faster :-)
But I still have one problem: wlan.
It works, I can connect to my modem and print on the usb printer connected to my modem. But I cannot go to internet or my other network PC?
Probably it is something stupid but I don't know.
I hope someone can solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.

later I logged in as root. I was very surprised to see that I could connect with internet there???
So for the time being this problem is solved. But I would like to know what went wrong. Somebody?
Thanks.

The file /etc/resolv.conf can only be changed by root. Would that be the problem?

I had this same problem after upgrading. I messed for days with the route table and wpa_supplicant settings and could not get it to be reliable or even consistent.

I changed to wicd and deleted networkmanager and everything's been fine since.
