Hey,
I am trying to configure the WiFi interface, using KWiFiManager in SUSE 10.2. While I can configure the various configs, they don't seem to take effect or at least not permanently. For example, I can see networks and if I don't enable encryption in Yast, I can connect to unencrypted networks, but not my home network, which is encrypted, even though encryption and keys are specified in KWiFiManager. If I then enable encryption in Yast, I can connect to my home network, but no longer connect to open networks. Is there something I'm missing? Suggestions?
I'm not sure, but do you want to join two networks with one wireless-network interface? (If true, that IMHO does not work.) If you want so, you should create, beside the existing interface, a virtual interface which joins the other network.
No, when I'm at home, I want to connect to my encrypted home network and when elsewhere, such as the library or Starbucks etc., I want to connect to an open network. Networkmanager will allow connecting to either, but doesn't save any configuration. This requires entering the WEP keys *EVERY* time I want to connect to my home network. KWiFiManager is supposed to allow for several configurations to be saved and used. While I can save configs, I can't switch from an encrypted to non-encrypted config or vice versa, as I have to configure for either in Yast. That is, if I configure Yast for an open network, I cannot connect at home. If I configure it for my encrpted network, I cannot connect elsewhere. In short, KWiFiManager is not changing the configuration as required. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
