first, SUSE Enterprise Linux Server (SELS) is not likley to run well on a laptop
it is not meant for a laptop sound support is not there graphics support is not there the mouse touch pad might not work the built in 3d chip is not well supported , IF it is even supported and wireless is not well supported a server dose not need a wireless connection nor bluetooth so first look in yast under the services to see if "networkMamager" is even installed "Network" ( ifup/ifdown) handles WIRED connections "NetworkManager" handles wireless and dsl and vpn under network disable "network" and enable "networkManager" also seeing as this IS " SUSE Enterprise Linux Server service pack 1 " -- you do know that service pack 3 is the current you are a few YEARS out of date you did BUY the required support contract from Novell have you asked Novell , seeing as you ARE paying them a lot of cash for the required support contract unless you MUST use the OLD SELS11 sp1 and must use it on a laptop and not a desktop you would be better off using the current OpenSUSE 12.3 -- one it is FREE |
Thats Correct As John said, SLES11 sp1 is now here meant for a laptop, So check YAST and start the Network Manager it is listed there usually.
