Thanks!

How well do those Atheros or other cards work with KWiFiManager? The card that came with my ThinkPad doesn't. It's an Actiontec Prism 2.5 Wavelan.
Admitedly I'm new to wireless, but so far, I must say that KNetworkmanager does a MUCH better job with wireless for me than KWiFiManager. It works better with the card, finding sites when KWiFiManger doesn't.

I tried KNetworkManager and it didn't work well on my ThinkPad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As far as I can tell, kwifimanager works for my belkin without a hitch. But that is connecting to a known ap with wep encryption, but knetworkmanager does see all of the 8 to 12 APs in my neighborhood, I could connect to several of them if I chose as they report themselves as open and unencrypted. I have mine ecrypted and I still only allow connections from my mac addresses. Sometimes I see peers that I know must be in the range of 350 to 450 feet away, albeit weak but still shows as a viable connection.
