Hi, Finally got dsl at home so obtained a wlan card to use there. Need cat5 eth0 at work ( NB laptop ). wlan at home running dhcp. Yast seems incapable ot setting the two interfaces up. It either copies static eth0 IPs to the wlan cfg file ( when specifically told not to etc etc ). Tried scpm with boot options but that also seemed unreliable. Have now resorted to editing the settings in /etc/sysconfig/network manually for the two interfaces and will try again this evening. Is there a known problem with yast regarding this? Cheers and TIA Francesco

I've been doing this on my laptop for years: 1. Wired or wireless at home 2. Wired at Northeastern University 3. Wireless at MIT 4. Wired at work. On annoyance I do have is that on my wireless at MIT, both the wireless and wired interfaces come up. I generally, type 'ifdown eth0'. I've been doing this since at least SuSE 9.0, and I use SCPM. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
