Hi,
I have a Centrino notebook. I use ipw2100 driver now.
I always use my computer in school and at home.
But the network setting for these two locations are different.(e.g. I use WEP at home but not in school)
How do I dealing with this problem?
Can any program help me create and switch profiles in different preseted locations?(just like Windows XP wireless support)
What distro are you using? You may wish to add it to your profile so other users know what you are using. Anyhow, it will take only a couple of lines to switch AP's or, depending on distro, a connection manager to select a different one.
Cheers

Hello,
I am using SUSE 9.2.
Actually, I am thinking can I make 1 more interface to stimulate the switching?
(e.g. I use Centrino
eth0 wired LAN
eth1 wireless LAN(use at location A)
eth2 wireless LAN(use at location B)
?
Thats an interesting thought, never considered giving that a go. In Fedora I can simply bring up the gui and deactivate one connection and activate another. Never spent much time with suse so I cant comment. However I think additional interfaces would not be the way to go. You need multiple configurations for the one interface I think.

I know
I used Fedora before.
So I also want to know can I get this tool?
