I've a thinkpad T30 with a prism wireless chipset. It's a dual boot setup of win xp and opensuse 10.3.. Netgear wireless router. I can communicate ok using wpa encryption on xp (so proves that wpa works with this chipset) but not on suse. WEP communication is working on suse so wireless networking is set up ok but not if I try to use WPA. I've done a lot of googling for the past 2 days and tried a few vague answers, many which seem to suggest a manually written config file for the older distro versions, with no joy. wpa-supplicant gui or yast does not work. The nearest to success seems to be the readme file supplied with wpa-supplicant bit that fails on the last line of instructions. Does anyone have a link to a definite set of instructions, or could give advice howto get wpa to work?

TIA

WPA is handled via wpa_supplicant. I am not running 10.3 but in previous versions the wpa_supplicant support was handled transparently by YaST (mostly). There should be some documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/wpa_supplicant The YaST used to store the wpa supplicant info in /etc/sysconfig and these are used by the card location scripts to create a temporary config file for wpa_supplicant. Again cannot say whether this applies to 10.3. If you have a dig around in the /etc/sysconfig/network directory there will be a number of configuration files of the form.... ifcfg-<network device>-id-<card mac address> This should contain a number of settings related to WPA. If YaST is not offering WPA option you can try this... I do not expect it to work but the errors will be informative.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
