First off, this should have been posted on suse-linux-e. The ifplugd is for hard wired connections not wireless. For wireless try using networkmanager, although it is -very- poor for encrypted connections. If you have an encrypted connection that does -not- broadcast the essid you need to reenter the config every time you try to use the connection or reboot. Even if the essid is broadcast you still need to reenter the wep key. Why is there not a way to save the info?
This is just not true. I'm using both nm-applet and kNetworkmanager (GNOME and KDE NetworkManager frontends) with my WPA2, non-broadcasting wifi network at home and it's working great! The keys are being stored in kWallet or the gnome-keyring. Regards Christoph
