Hi all,
I travel a lot for my work, and I've noticed many times that Linux wireless networking often doesn't connect to the networks that I'm offered in hotels.
I'm pretty sure (call me cynical, but...) that this is an issue with micro$oft base stations that expect a little bit of non-standard protocol. Since windoze adopts (creates?) that protocol, it all works for them, so nobody recognizes a problem.
Does Microsoft make WiFi base stations, as would be used in a business? Actually, I'd suspect the problem lies with the authentication server, where you have to log in to get to the internet. It's entirely possible that it is using something that's available in IE or Windows. I have never experienced such an issue anywhere I've used my computers, such as coffee shops, the library etc. Is your problem that you can't get a WiFi connection? Or you can't get beyond authentication? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
