connect, it works fine, but more often than not, you can't connect. You get to set the SSID the iPhone will use, and you can also set it to something illegal, unsuported, or just plain hard to type which may well be your problem.
Once set, connected to and tested, the laptop will remember it and connect instantly.
Of course I wouldn't put it past Apple to have screwed this up on some models perhaps at the behest of the carriers, and simply walked away from the problem.
The problem is not setting the SSID. The problem is when trying to connect to the iPhone, the computer often cannot see the SSID in the list of available networks. If you can't see it, you can't connect to it. Even if though I had previously connected to it, I couldn't count on being able to connect to it later. And I have no doubt Apple does things "different". I wonder if a Mac would have the same problem connecting. BTW, the super secret SSID I used was "JKnott_iPhone". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
