Recap: Laptop running 9.1Pro with a Cisco Aironet 350 card. Worked fine for home WLAN, but would not work with public hotspots (particularly, tmobile).
What I have done, is create different wifi config files and then just copy the appropriate one, to the wlan file. Then simply restart the interface.
Which files would those be, exactly? (Man, I wish I knew this stuff...) I went poking around, and found /etc/wlan/wlan.conf, which looked promising, but its contents don't resemble my settings. The script idea certainly sounds cool. In the meantime, I have found that changing my settings in YAST and rebooting allows me to connect problem-free to the hotspots I was having trouble with before, but now I can't connect to my home WLAN without changing YAST back, even using iwconfig from the command line to fix my settings. It really seems as if YAST is conflicting with iwconfig, somehow. And going into YAST every time I want to connect to a different wireless net seems like a really poor way of doing business.
