I have opensuse 10.3 on my laptop. Wireless networking is using iwl4965
driver. It works great in my home office environment where I spend 95%
of my time. I'm using Network Manager to switch between wired (at my
desk) and wireless (away from my desk).
Today we went to the local swimming pool which has unsecure wireless. I
could not figure out how to connect. With my wife's laptop running
Vista, I could easily see what networks were available and make a
connection. I even tried to use the data from hers (SSID) and still
couldn't get a connection.
So, is there a gui utility for managing connections? Showing what's
available and making connections?
Thanks,
James
