For mandriva, i just set everything to auto, but that doesn't work with suse. It is warning me about not using encryption but thats it. Any suggestions on the problem?

And do you use KwifiManager? __________________ Registered GNU/Linux User #399198 'Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.' -Steven Wright

Now try pinging google and your AP with: Code: ping -c 4 your_ap's_ip_address ping -c 4 www.google.com __________________ Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.
