wireless network in Suse 9.2


Hello,
I am using Suse 9.2 with KDE 3.3 and I install the KWiFiManager to manager wireless connections.

The reason that I use KWiFi is I want to switch network profiles in different location like at home and in school.

But I find that, when I set the config in the KWiFi. The config will not be saved!
I am thinking, will that be the reason of using Yast to set the wireless device. So KWiFi cannot manager the config? If so, how can I fix it? Or are there any other software / way to help me switch the profiles in different location?

thx

Probably not what you want to here, but since your post is now on the 3rd page of "Posts with 0 answers", here you go:

In your home directory, do a little script and called them something like:
school
work
home


It should contain

#!/bin/bash
iwconfig eth0 essid YOURNET key 0265a25s25d43


I probably didn't put enough characters in the key, but you get the idea. then just run whichever script for the network you are going to be on. I assumed your wireless is eth0, but it could be eth1.
