[opensuse] How can I boot with wireless enabled to a WPA secured access point?
I'm running SLED10 and in YaST it appears I can only setup a WEP connection during boot. This works as when I change the security of my Access Point to WEP, enter the details in YaST for my wireless card and reboot, sure enough I get the nice 'blinky-blinky' wireless light before I'm presented with a login prompt. Problem is I don't want to use WEP, I want to use WPA on my access point but I can't see how to set it up in YaST for boot. NetworkManager is fine and kicks in my wireless nic after I login, using credentials stored in my keyring, but I want to authenticate against a server at login, not after.. Has anyone done this? -- Stephen Carter Retrac Networking Limited www: http://www.retnet.co.uk Ph: +44 (0)7870 218 693 Fax: +44 (0)870 7060 056 CNA, CNE 6, CNS, CCNA, MCSE 2003 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

configure it to use old method, (ifup) rather than NetworkManager. Its a setting in Yast. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
