I’m certainly happy when this issue is already fixed starting from openSUSE 11.3 Milestone #5, and now I have another computer, ASUS EEEPC 1201T netbook. I installed both openSUSE 11.3 Milestone #7 (zypper dup from openSUSE 11.2) and openSUSE 11.2 in other partition in this computer, and found the WLAN device did not work yet.

I could not find any easier way on Internet about how-to make this WLAN device works right after installing the Linux operating system, so I think it needs a little bit work-around: (more…)

If you are using ZTE MF626 (3G USB-Modem) on openSUSE 11.3 (currently Milestone #7, link), it is now ready to be used without running usb_modeswitch manually, through KNetworkManager.
See these logs: /var/log/messages, and /var/log/NetworkManager for complete tracking of this issue. (more…)

It is great and I’d like to give many thanks to openSUSE-Board that has let me become one of hundreds great people, today, right on my wife’s birthday.
No, it is not just being proud to be, but it is a matter of how to becoming more useful for many friends, collages, and making them happy using this openSUSE Linux distribution. It is about how to help each other, trying to make their lives better and even more meaningful. (more…)

It is already long-time told, the KDE SC 4 would be a cross-platform software compilation so Windows (or even Mac) users are able to use and start to contributing to the community:
The KDE community works on enabling KDE applications both on Unix and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, Sun Solaris and BSD as well as Windows and Mac.
And that’s why KDE is mature and a great user-oriented desktop, spreading wider usage and faster development. (more…)

Here is the steps:
- Plug the device.
- Mount it through Device Notifier Widget.
- Eject it (ignore the failure message), You’ll see the KNetworkManager icon changes, from ‘unplugged net-device’ to ‘mobile-phone’ .[0]
- Click it, and select Manage Connections / Mobile Broadband, and then fill the necessary configurations.
- Click the desired connection through KNetworkManager in the system tray.[1]
Have fun! 
[0] This feature is still in the developer discussion wheter which is a good way should be choosen to swicth the device automatically from media-mode to modem-mode (ejecting the device or through usb_modeswitch), especially for incoming openSUSE 11.3 release.
[1] Some users complain about hang on Waiting for authorization, just disconnect and then connect it again (known bug?).

This is a simple configuration of how to use
KNetworkManager (KDE4) to have Wireless connection on openSUSE 11.2 computer.
In this how-to: no encription (open), and IP Address’s client is obtained from DHCP server.
Have fun!
