Now I know the problem with NetworkManager

I said before, that NetworkManager has died on me. So I read a few bug database on opensuse and found the cure to it. So if you find that your NetworkManager on ASLEEP state, or unmanaged state. Then this is what you should do:
1. login as root, by typing "su -", on a program called Konsole, insert your administrator password. And you get into the root login.
2. go to /var/lib/NetworkManager, and edit the file NetworkManager.state to NetworkingEnabled=true, save it. (to get into the folder just type "cd  /var/lib/NetworkManager", to edit the file after you get into the directory just type "nano NetworkManager.state" change the information, press "ctrl-X" to exit, press "y" to say yes, and press "enter" to save at the same file name. Btw, you have to install nano first if you haven't install it or you can use any other text editor that you have.
3. restart the NetworkManager. you can use the process manager, to access it quickly through the desktop you can press "Ctrl+Esc" on your desktop, find NetworkManager, and right click on it, and select kill process. You will be asked of password, so enter your administrator password. To restart it, go to Konsole again, and type "NetworkManager" and then press "enter".
4. if you haven't start the knetworkmanager, then just go to the application launcher (the green gecko on your task bar) just type knetworkmanager, as you type you will see some applications listed, just select the correct one. If you did that, then by now you will a knetworkmanager icon on your system tray.

Happy networking.
