How do I tell wicked to connect to a particular wireless netowrk?
note: The interface for NetworkManager is very nice but have never allowed me to connect to a netowrk :^( Latest attempt barfed, dhcp failed. But wicked does connect w/o any further action....
tks,
You can configure your wireless connection for wicked in YaST. It gives you a scan option to select the proper SSID and you can enter the pass phrase for this access point. You will see these configuration parameters end up in ifcfg-<wireless interface name>. So if you know how to set these parameters you can set them there too.
So going "on the road" is not something the "average" user will accomplish with wicked :^(. I can quickly edit /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<wlp#?#> but seems somewhat of a cludge. Guess the route I will have to follow as I have *never* been able to make NetworkManager work. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
