HP Netbook and Suse 11.4 wireless Networking

Hi

I have an HP Netbook with Suse 11.4 running fine. The problem is the wireless networking. Network Manager shows the wireless tab grayed out which says I am way off the mark. According to Network Devices I have a RTL8101E/8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller; somewhere on this computer it said the module was an R8169 in either case wireless networking doesn't work.

I am not a Linux newbie, but I'm certainly not an expert, networking has always been a problem.

I can use help in getting the wireless portion of this computer working

Hi Adriann, Please post the output from the following.

Code:

# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# lspci -v | grep -i net
# lsmod

Good luck. ;-)
