How does it solve the problem if an employer doesn't want to give
employees root access, but expects them you be able to use WiFi? Hmm. I use WiFi in three offices, hotels, home, and wherever. On KDE I set it up via network manager. I am never root for that. Same with wired connections. I think the problem is that network manager seems to have gone through a bad stretch where it could, in some updates, stop working. That, for wifi on openSUSE, is the issue. I do not know if the gnome equivalent has had such a seemingly turbulent recent history.
In 12.1, you need root password to initially configure a WiFi connection. Once that's done, you can use it without root password. Earlier versions did not require root password to establish a connection. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
