SuSELinuxSupport :: HowToConfigWifiCard

"I have seen that many people have troubles with WiFI cards configuration. Most of the times, there is an easy way to solve those problems using a graphical tools.

I think that YaST is not a good tool for WiFI configuration, since you need to access WLAN networks on different places, so, a WiFI profile manager is a must, and YaST only allow a fix configuration way.

I suggest people to update their repositories and then install -from them- the drivers of WiFI cards, and proper configuration utilities in order to symplify WiFI configuration and usage.

If you still have problems, then you should try to debug your system using command line tools (ifconfig, etc.), but, most of the time, you won't need it. The only command line tool you would always need is ping, to see that you are connected to the network."
