Hi, I had a problem with Opensuse 11.4 and kde 4 using the plasmoid-network management to connect to a hotel wireless network last night. I am in a different city now so I can't do any testing, but perhaps someone may be able to figure out what was happening and help me out anyways.
I tried to listen to streaming audio on two different sites yesterday evening, using gmplayer, vlc, or embedded flash player in the web browser (Firefox 5.0 and Opera). About every couple of minutes to every thirty seconds the players would stop playing after dropping

Anyone have an idea what was happening and how to fix it in Opensuse?
I wouldn't look too far at openSUSE. Did you ever have this problem before? Yes, I have had it before. It occurs when I am using the wireless connection, but the wireless connection itself isn't broken. It just ends up breaking the streaming audio. My fix is always to switch to Wind***, then the problem goes away.
Hotel wireless setups are notoriously bad, using consumer routers serving far more wireless stations than they are designed to. Agreed, but that is the problem I am facing.
There are many ways a
network connection can break other than the wireless association itself.
Yes, that is what I am trying to find out. What is breaking the connection of the streaming audio that is differant in Opensuse than in Windows? That is what I would like to fix.
