First thing to do is to go on to your Wireless Router and check the logs and look to see if there are any entries corresponding to your connection attempts from your openSUSE machine. On your Wireless Router check the settings for wireless network viz 2,4 GHz and/or 5,0 GHz band, Security Mode, WPA mode, and perhaps also repeat entering your pre-shared key so that it really is what you think it is, and save the settings. Try connecting again from the openSUSE machine and keep an eye on the log on the Wireless Router to see if any attempt at connection is being made.

But you seem to be indicating from the logs on the router, that the openSUSE machine is not even trying to connect. If something was going wrong with the authentication, the router log would at least show a connection attempt. You need to do some debugging to see what happens on the openSUSE box when you try to connect, and try to connect manually with something like wifi-radar? <http://wifi-radar.berlios.DE/> Or wicd? <http://wicd.sourceforge.NET/> Once you get things working manually, you can then sort out your boot time automagic connection configuration.

Okay, that is good. I will remember that for next time.

Strange - I am having exactly the same problem and it started today as well. I will follow this with interest... -- Its all in your mind JMBW |
