Does anyone here have wireless networking working under SuSE 9.0 using a Linksys WPC11 / BEFW11? If so, would you mind giving me a little help off-list?

Secondary question: If I can't get it working under Linksys, I'd consider changing wireless router and/or card. Can anyone recommend one that definitely works?

I can definately recommend the Netgear WG311 as it happily works with SuSE 9.0 as both a Software Access Point and a Wireless client connecting to another machine. Software also works very nicely with Windows. If you need to know more I'll check the driver it uses when I get home. The only problem I have is that around where I live there are a number of unsecured wireless networks (ie no Encryption or MAC Address security), and occasionally it will change to a different network. I think that is due to Kwifimanager trying to stick to the network with the strongest signal. Regards Adam

Morning All, I've got the perfect solution for unsecured wireless networks! I simply browse into the various system startup folders and drop a small PowerPoint presentation into it. Basically it's a quick presentation mentioning that, while working on another network, I determined that their network was insecure. I then go on to give my contact info with a suggestion that they contact me or their IT support staff for assistance in securing their network.

I would assume you're not running WEP? Have you managed to get this working? I've had problems, so I'm curious. <sigh> <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Adam Leach To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Sent: Fri, 20 Feb 2004 15:35:21 +0000 Subject: Re: [SLE] Wireless networking

I've never tried WEP as I use MAC Address security. Any MAC Address that the router doesn't know about gets refused access. Makes life easier and you haven't got the overhead of WEP.

Of course, you're also broadcasting in the clear ... and you have the problem of switching to other nearby networks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFANnOvjeziQOokQnARAkQMAJ0cLi1e2u8D4sswpCsDirPUW+lSYQCdHz9V 8qTkwiAhZnlwO8yWKou8AWY= =HT9K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
