The problem is that (at least using knetworkmanager) you can't choose between infratructure only and adhoc connections. The point is the hotspot I'm using (it's inside a library with many students) is hiding its SSID. And windows make it to easy to start an

adhoc network. So there are a lot of computers saying that they would be the hotspot but they are just a adhoc network. Networkmanager always tries to connect to the adhocs which fails of course. What to do to enforce connecting to the infrastructure??
Otherwise use the traditional scripts.
But then I can't use it at home again without starting yast and reconfigure everything.
You could use scpm in general.
I just don't want to connect to adhoc networks. If networkmanager connects to a adhoc network with the same ssid, is it sending the WEP/WAP key to there, too?
I'm not sure about adhoc - but hidden SSID works just fine,
I don't know for those of you in Gnome-land, but in KDE with KNetworkmanager (the KDE front end to networkmanager) you right click the icon in the system tray, and you'll be presented with a list of available wifi networks. If you want to connect to another - for example, one that has a hidden SSID like mine - then you select "Connect to other" and enter the gory details.
