How do I tell wicked to connect to a particular wireless netowrk?
note: The interface for NetworkManager is very nice but have never allowed me to connect to a netowrk :^( Latest attempt barfed, dhcp failed. But wicked does connect w/o any further action....
tks,
You can configure your wireless connection for wicked in YaST. It gives you a scan option to select the proper SSID and you can enter the pass phrase for this access point. You will see these configuration parameters end up in ifcfg-<wireless interface name>. So if you know how to set these parameters you can set them there too.
So going "on the road" is not something the "average" user will accomplish
with wicked :^(. I can quickly edit
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-
