KNetworkManager does allow you to setup static address on a per-card basis. For example, I set a static address for the wired Ethernet, since I expect to use it mostly at home, and I left the wireless card as DHCP. But ideally I would like the wireless card to have a static address also at home, and DHCP everywhere else.
How do you configure a static ethernet connection? It doesn't appear to be available on the configuration panel.
You are right, it can't be set in KNetworkManager. But I set it up in YaST/Network Devices/Network Card. I set the ethernet card as static IP and the wireless as DHCP. NetworkManager honours the static IP, whenever I am plugged into the network.
Therein lies the problem. I prefer to use static IP at home and DHCP elsewhere. While I can use DHCP at home I prefer static, as I have different addresses for when the computer is running Linux or Windows. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
