Accessing WiFi in university, SuSE 11.0 Kde 3.5
2 Attachment(s)
In my university we have a Wifi. All the people are connecting to it through windows. I am a regular linux user. I don't want to go windows.
How can i connect to it ? The details of my university wifi can be seen in attached image. |
Does the wireless works, like at home ?
Is the wireless card recognized and working? Do you use kwifimanager? |
I am using Knetwork manager. It has a option to create eth0,wlan0.
In windows automatic recognition of wifi option is available. But this is not with my openSUSE. I don't know to see available wifi connections. So i had made snapshot of KLUniversity wifi properties. May be that can be helpful to create wifi connection. |
Does it work on another location?
What is the output from Code:
ifconfig |
Knetwork manager allows me to enable/disable radio options. But it is not showing any wifi connections even after enabling. Normally I expect automatic recognition of wifi connection after I enable Wifi.
|
Presently I am at my home, and i was using wired connection to connect to internet. If i know how to scan all the available wifi connections, then tomorrow i'll try them at my university.

Therefore you need to issue iwconfig and ifconfig |
these are my present output for the two commands
IFCONFIG: Code:
linux-snzv:/home/raju # ifconfig Code:
linux-snzv:/home/raju # iwconfig |
You should enable wlan0 in knetworkmanager.
Then, if the card works correct, it should see the accesspoints. |
Wifi is already enabled. Since I am at my home, it is showing no wireless extensions.
I will try those commands in my university. I'll post those outputs tomorrow. |
hi, thanks to all,
I had created the wireless connection, just by giving the SSID name only. Now i was able to connect to the Wifi in my university. |
