I use SuSE 10.2 and KDE. I hook onto the Internet by way of a wireless router. My WiFi card works when I boot up, but does not continue to work when I take the laptop while it is on and move to another room. When I reboot from that room, the wireless connection is established. I am using KNetworkManager. Is this curable?

I am a retired RF engineer. When one looks at field strength of an RF signal versus location, one finds that there are peaks and nulls. My intuitive feeling for your problem is that as you carry the computer from one location to the next, there is some small area where there is a very deep null--perhaps as much as 30 dB--and you lose synchronization at that point. There would not be any cure, if that's the problem. If there is going to be a loss of data, then you should save before you move, log off, and then log in again after you move. RF is a fickle bitch when you're inside a structure. Sometimes when you're outside. Consider the peculiarity of cell phone connections. (Many cell phones operate on frequencies fairly close to those of RF routers.) --doug, wa2say --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
