I have a laptop running 9.2. For my home network, I have it set with encryption, and my essid set up. The problem is when i travel, and I need to access their wireless system in a hotel. I have to go into Yast and reconfigure my card to have no encryption and enter their (e)ssid name. When I get home, reinsert my settings.

Is there an easier way to do this, such as a way to specify settings for various ssid's?

Use Profiles, make a profile for home and for away.

I WONDERED what that did! I set up my away profile as I sit here in the motel room. I will do the standard "home" one later. One question. At what point do you chose the profile you want? At log in? Boot? Thanks again. Harry G

During boot: type: PROFILE=<the name you have choosen>, and scpm does the rest for you. You can make additional entries in the GRUB menu.lst file.

Or you can add the profiles to your Grub or lilo menu.
