No, when I'm at home, I want to connect to my encrypted home network and when elsewhere, such as the library or Starbucks etc., I want to connect to an open network. Networkmanager will allow connecting to either, but doesn't save any configuration. This requires entering the WEP keys *EVERY* time I want to connect to my home network. KWiFiManager is supposed to allow for several configurations to be saved and used. While I can save configs, I can't switch from an encrypted to non-encrypted config or vice versa, as I have to configure for either in Yast. That is, if I configure Yast for an open network, I cannot connect at home. If I configure it for my encrpted network, I cannot connect elsewhere. In short, KWiFiManager is not changing the configuration as required. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
