I have been a little frustrated with my laptop running XP and Suse 9.3. XP of course sees and uses the Orinoco device on my SRX99 Sony perfect. I had the wireless working briefly on the Suse side but now it is now. Does anyone know of a good utility to install to at least see what available wireless networks are available? -- Ken Kapptie kappter@gmail.com (801)209-5262

Kwifimanager will scan, yes, but it's deficient in that you can't select an available network. Fred -- "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!" Brought to you by the US Department of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act(s) numerous Presidential Directives, etc.
