suse 10 wireless....working but do I have to enter wep every time?
 

I have suse 10 installed and working well on my gateway 3522gz. I have worked out several problems but now I am stumped.

I am connecting fine to any wireless network with the ipw2200. I have kinternet running
as well as kwifimanager. Every time I boot I have to scan for network in kinternet
and enter the wep key.
I frequently use my home wifi and a different one at work.

Is there any way I can have it remember the wep keys and automatically
connect to access points (kind of like wireless zero config in winXP)?

Thanks in advance.

I have this same annoying problem. There's no network profile manager. :(

Suse can actually do what your looking for. You should take some time to get familiar with the Profile Manager in Yast (Yast > System > Profile Manager). This doesn't mean you'll need to save your wep settings through Yast, but once you get all your profiles set up, it's easy from there.

Good luck!

Thanks for letting us know about the profile manager. Not everyone has the convenience to sit around and explore all the features of SUSE.

I will test to see if it can remember my WEP next time I am at my other office.

Maybe not much help to you- but i'm pretty sure there is a wifi manager out there somewhere that will do this for you.

there are several in Suse (including Yast), none of them will associate it with the access point. They only way I can get it work is by using iwconfig.

Found good manager
 

I have started using kwifimanager.

It works great and saves settings but I can't get it to configure dhcp

in the checkbox "execute script on connect" I cant figure out what to put
in to make the interface dhcp for an address.

if your using Suse. You can shuld be able to create a script with the following line in it (replace eth1 with your wireless adapter):

dhcpcd eth1
