There are a number of wireless networks I would like to connect to: 2 at work, one at home. All are encrypted with 64-bit or better SSIDs. The Suse 10.1 wireless network manager is able to detect those networks with visible SSIDs no problem (I originally hid my home SSID, but this connection was not even recognized as one with a hidden SSID by the NM, so I made it visible; I can live with keeping it visible if it simplifies the hassle connecting). The problem is that every time I try to make a connection to one of the networks, it keeps prompting me for the relevant SSID. I guess the manager does have support for the saving of SSIDs, as this to me is an obvious feature. It's just that it doesn't seem to work for my machine. Any ideas? I'm running SuSe 10.1 from an ASUS A8J laptop. The account I am normally using is not root (but that shouldn't matter, right?). By the way, I also have a related network problem - my wired network doesn't work with the NM at all, which is inconvenient. But I'll raise that as a topic of a separate thread.See less »
