I am trying to force a desktop wireless connection to use a specific AP. I see in Yast network config where I can put the mac address of the AP I want to use but it doesn't seem to work and _most_ always picks one I don't want it to use. Using network manager obviously works correctly but I must use traditional ifup on this box. How can I force it to use the AP I want it too?
I have a /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 with this:
WIRELESS_ESSID='BERGSTRASSE'
I just edit the file, but there is no doubt also a way of doing it with YaST.
I have a centrally located wireless router and 2 range extenders. One on each end of the house. That's 3 Access Points all with the same ESSID. They are differentiated by their mac addresses.
Ah, I see. I've never worked with such a setup, sorry. If it works with network manager, it ought to work with an ifup/down style setup too. Does YaST allow you to chose the AP by MAC-address ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
