I know what the SSDI is in the router; I have verified it by opening the router's configuration in its web server. I left it blank in the WiFi card's configuration because I wasn't sure how to handle it in the case of access to networks other than my own. I have gone through this with another laptop machine (now deceased), but I don't remember what I did then. And now that the card's configuration dialog is gone, I don't find how to bring it back, or where to enter the missing items.
When you use KNetworkManager, you can configure several different connections, each with it's own SSID.
"KNetworkManager" is an unrecognized command. Software Manager returns "No Results". I have the usual repos installed; where is it?
I believe you mentioned you're running KDE. The package name is NetworkManager-kde. You should be able to install it. When installed, there should be a gray globe icon on your task bar, when unconnected. The icon changes to a bar graph, when connected via WiFi and what appears to be a USB plug, when connected via ethernet. KNetworkManager will allow you to configure several connections, both WiFi and ethernet. I use it on my ThinkPad in OpenSUSE 11.0 and it works fairly well.
I couldn't have guessed the package name. Thank you. YaST says it is installed. It also mentions that it contains KNetworkManager. Why does the system not recognize it from the CLI? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
