i recently set up the wireless network to use wpa-psk. after i made the settings to the wlan0 file i rebooted and it was successful, i was getting a perfect connection, after which i rebooted again and i was not getting a connection at all, i didnt make any changes at all to any files, basically the reboot caused the problem, i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if someone could lead me into the right direction.
Well being that I just installed Suse 9.3, I'm still getting familiar w/ the WPA gui. I got the WPA supplicant to work but only via command line because I've used wpa_supplicant in earlier versions of Suse. You need to create your .conf file also.
as root:
wpa_passphrase <essid> <passphrase>
enter the output of that to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
then just wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
it worked like a charm. If I figure it out on the gui side of things, I'll let you know. Hope this helps
