How do I get my wireless working?
Jan 16th 2013, 22:03

Well as a newcomer to Linux and some issues with my video drivers I now seem to have 12.2 installed and running (thanks caf4926, gogalthorp, hcvv et al). I managed to login through grub 2 level 3, installed the nvidia drivers and ran zypper patch twice and re-booted. I have wired networking sorted but it won't run wirelessly. How do I get it working. As suggested in a previous thread I ran the command :
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

which returned :

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [8086:4237]
Subsystem: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100 AGN [8086:1211]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3603]
Kernel driver in use: r8169


Don't know it that helps any.

I also need to configure my email. I want to use Thunderbird so how do I go about installing it. K mail seems to be the application loaded with the KDE desktop,
