Is there a group of SUSE programmers focused on making WIFI connection 
management work as well as Apple's OS/X? One thing OS/X does, that I 
really like, is popup a dialog when I have lost my connection and new 
hubs are detected.

I know that Linux has to contend with more hardware capability 
variations than Macs do. For example, some wireless hardware doesn't 
support scanning, some doesn't support WPA and/or WPA2, etc. Still, I 
tried to get Yast2 to configure a connection in an internet cafe the 
other day and it just would not configure the connection. I would get 
associated, but no DHCP server would be found. I guess it might have 
been a glitch in the cafe's connection, but there were other people 
connected around me.

In my case, I am running OpenSUSE 10.1 alpha1 on a Centrino-based laptop 
(ipw2200).

Thanks!
Miles
