I am trying to setup SUSE 9 Professional on my wireless network at home. I am unsure of the proper setup though. We are using the following setup:
ESS Auth: Pre-Shared Key Encryption: WEP128 Key Input Method: Pass Phrase
I have two keys which the WAP provided me. How do I get this working on SUSE 9? I've tried putting the pass phrase and the encryption keys into YaST, but none of them are working. Any insight?
Provided your wireless network card is supported, then it shouldn't be too difficult. In ideal case YaST2 not only recognises your device but actually recognises it as a wireless device (this is not the case at least for some PCI wireless cards in SUSE LINUX 9.0). In this case you wil have the option to specify both ESSID as well as WEP Key in YaST2 (network card configuration -> hardware details -> wireless). I have no clue, however, what "Key Input Method: Pass Phrase" is supposed to mean. You should also know that you can edit the config file manually. If your network device is called wlan0, then the file would be /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. *If* YaST2 recognises your device but does not recognise it as a wireless device you could manually change WIRELESS='no' into WIRELESS='yes' If you call YaST2 again after that you will be offered to set the wireless parameters.
