How to check if IntelPRO is detected and configured in Suse 10.2?

If if it is installed and than how to check the ip setting.

I cant see wifi LED on when i use Suse. and even internet is connecting.

also, please let me know if connect LAN that is with wire how make sure that it got the ip. like in window renew ip using ipconfig.

i am new to suse so dont have any idea

Thanks in advance

For wireless use iwconfig. Check here for some details. For wired it's ifconfig.

Are you using KDE? If so you can go to YAST > Network Devices > Netword Card to verify/configure you settings.

let me boot to suse and check this out

thanks

Please clear up something first. Are you on wireless or wired? Isn't the 3945ABG wireless?

[navik_pathak]

sorry for the confusion.

I am now only concentrating on Wireless.

I have tried googling and after doing some changes...though it is not working...

but.....

i have noticed following...

when i use windows XP my wifi LED glows on my dell.
but when i use Suse 10.2 LED with Lock G or 9 glows

when i do iwconfig
it says

lo no wireless network

eth0 no wireless network

sit0 no wireless network.....

but nothing like wlan0 or wlan1..where some other site tells to check,,,out...
so there is nothing like wlan in my iwconfig..

other changes i made is...i went to /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlan*(lot number00.)
in this file i made STARTMODE='auto'

thanks in advance for any help....
