Where can I change the wireless router's settings from WPA-PSK to WPA2-PSK
I am new to OpenSuse. Please suggest.

Hi Srikanth,

You will need to login to your wireless router's configuration page via http, i.e. http://router's ip address e.g http://192.168.1.1, http://10.0.1.1 etc.

You can do this by connecting to the router through Ethernet port or through any other PC that can connect to the wireless network. Please refer to the manul/documentation that was supplied with your router.

Regards.

you have to set the wireless router setting to urs router ip address
So you need to Type in Browser the IP  Address ie: Http://192.1.1.1 

Then you will be able to set the settings.

Is the driver used at all?

Try this:

lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

You should see something similar to this:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318]

After that you try this, but change 03:00.0 to what you have:
lspci -vnn -s 03:00.0

At the bottom you should see what kernel driver is used. Post the result so that we can see what card you have.

linux-445p:/ # lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)


I don't know how to check the domain, bus, slot and function. How do I check which ones I have?

linux-445p:/ # lspci -vnn -s 03:00:0
linux-445p:/ #

My ip address is 10.0.0.1 according to ifconfig under eth0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:19:F7:A5:52  
             inet addr:10.0.0.9

Page not found for http://10.0.09 or 192.1.1.1 or 10.0.1.1 or  http://192.168.1.1, http://10.0.1.1 etc.

srikanthrad:

You should have written 06:00:0 in the lspci-command according to the first output.     .

Try this
lspci -vnn -s 06:00:0

nothing shows up.

I think your problem is that you shouldn't use "b43" but "wl". I had this problem with my wife's laptop although it was 14e4:4315. Have you tried wl?

I haven't tried wl. What is wl and how do I do that? Please suggest.

wl is the prefered driver for a lot of  broadcom drivers now days. To test if this is ok. Do this.

remove b43 from insmoded drivers:

  modprobe -r b43

install wl through zypper:

  zypper in broadcom-wl

insert wl:

  modprobe wl

Proceed with normal configuring as you would have done before.

linux-445p:~ # modprobe -r b43
linux-445p:~ # zypper in broadcom-wl

I don't know what configuration you were talking about. I am a total new-bie to Opensuse and not sure what I have done. Just changing everything previously. Please suggest what should I do now.
