I've had tons of issues w/ knetwork mgr and wireless nics. Tried it out in opensuse gnome? I just went through the same slog in kde opensuse and kde fedora w/ no luck, but gnome's networkmgr worked like a charm.

This is from the router. It shows that the USB WiFI card is connected,
but no network activity with the wireless USB card in OpenSuSE.

If I plug the USB WiFI into a Ubuntu Laptop it works with no problems.
There must be something else I have to do? I have gone into YaST network
setup and added DHCP support.
