I'm running 13.1 on a ThinkPad that's capable of 802.11 b, g & n. Is it possible to select a specific mode? Today, I wanted to do some testing to ensure that b & g couldn't connect into an access point configured for n only, but I had to run Windows to do it. Is there any way to do this, without having to boot into the dark side? I'm using the KDE network manager.
tnx jk
This isn't something controlled by KDE, but rather by the driver (The binary blob) that is loaded at run time to manage the wifi card.
So you need to start by telling us the name of the wifi card, the chipset manufacturer.
Usually a command like /sbin/lspci will print out a list of things, and usually there is something in there mentioning wifi or 802.11b/g.
From there someone will probably be able to help you to obtain the proper firmware from the net and install it.
