Have you installed Knetworkmanager?
I installed and I'll see how it works.
It isn't nearly as good as the utility i've seen with vista but it is more or less functional.
Unfortunately, it has little in the way of information *about* any given network - security/pass or fail/reliability. It will also sometimes show a network then not depending on the phase of the moon.
Hi, I am not sure what version of suse you are using. The knetworkmanager on 10.3 works pretty well, In fact I am in Penang Malaysia in the airport and hooked up to the wireless net here with it. I was demonstrating the difference to someone here between Windows and Linux and couldn't get connected with windows vista, but suse and knetworkmanager got me connected right away. Hooray!
I have an old laptop at home that I made out of two broken laptops, and recently installed suse 11.0 on it. I found that the knetworkmanager doesn't work well, nor will it show the active networks or their signal strength properly. There has been a lot of discussion on this mail list about how poorly knetworkmanager works on 11.0, so it is a known problem. I have foregone updating to 11.0 on this computer that I am presently using because I need the functionality of knetwork manager working properly to be able to connect to wireless networks as I travel. It is so basic to laptop use that it seems to me to be a major oversight in 11.0 usefullness. I am not trying to be contentious, but would like to ask if perhaps those in the know may be able to reply and advise us both when the program will be repaired.
Thanks, Mark I agree Knetworkmanager does not work as well as in 10.3, though it does have a couple of nice features. Perhaps the two versions can be combined, taking the best of each?
