My wlan device is a USB dongle, a Fujitsu-Siemens E5400. It has behaved reasonably well under OS 10.2 and OS 10.3 but not under 11.0RC1. This dongle is not state of the art but its advantage is that I can control propagation through the thick brick walls in my house by sliding the thing over the lamp above the desktop.
Yeah, I like having an actual antenna I can point for times like that. That's why i don't recommend a PCI wireless for a desktop. Talk about dropping signal. Set it on the floor with the back to a corner and you lose about 40-50% immediately.
In 11.0RC1 I can ping my router, but I cannnot get onto the internet. We see that a secondary ip assigned, a new HOSTNAME and ifdown/ifup no longer works.
ifup/ifdown are not allowed if you are using NetworkManager. If you go into YaST's Network Settings, you can change it to "Traditional method with ifup" Look under "Global settings"
1. Why a new hostname and a new ipaddress ? 2. How do I make the DNS servers 213.163.128.185, 213.142.0.242 the preferred ones ?
To set your hostname, you have to select the Hostname/DNS option. This will allow you to turn off DHCP and setup your config manually. Good luck. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
