Ah, I see. I've never worked with such a setup, sorry. If it works with network manager, it ought to work with an ifup/down style setup too. Does YaST allow you to chose the AP by MAC-address ?
Well, yes, Yast does let you enter a MAC address. And it even shows up in the/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 config file created by Yast that was included in my last email. The system/kernel doesn't seem to be using all the info in that file for some reason.

Read the man page for ifup. It explains the process by which the configuration gets assigned. The kernel doesn't make the association; this is being done by a combination of the network loading script & udev rules. The man page briefly describes creating persistent interface names in the context of on-the-fly devices, i.e., forcing a particular name to be associated with a particular device when more than one is possible (like with hotplugged devices) - perhaps this is your solution.
Another approach: Is it possible for you to use more than one SSID?
Mark, sorry I omitted . . . IIRC iwconfig can change config parameters on the fly. Take a look at the man page, there is a command to force the use of a particular AP (or SSID). If you can't get your solution with the above udev rule, you might be able to add an iwconfig line to e.g. boot.local which changes the wlan0 assignment to the AP you cant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
