Hi,
On the LiveCD I enable the services NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher. Maybe
there are not enabled, if you do a normal installation, check out as root
# chkconfig --list | grep NetworkManager
do enable them run:
# chkconfig NetworkManager on
# chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher on
reboot or do:
# service NetworkManager start
# service NetworkManagerDispatcher start
Further the nm-applet (NetworkManager applet) has to be started. If you using gnome it is
started per default (I guess). In KDE run as normal user
# nm-applet &
Maybe you want also to start the gnome-keyring-daemon in KDE, which stores the keys of the
nm-applet:
# export `gnome-keyring-daemon`
Hope this helps,
Urs

Hello!
Earlier I was using the SL-5 LiveCD, where on the top-right, I had an option
to connect to a Wireless Network. So, I would click there and the wireless
connectivity wizard would load. It would allow me to feed-in my network name
and key and whoa(!), it used to get me connected to our wi-fi network.
But, now after installing SL-5 (from the 3.7 GiB DVD), there's no such
option (yes! the it detects my wi-fi card). I have no such wizard where I
could easily feed-in the details and get connected to the wi-fi network.
Therefore, may I know how to solve this problem. If some way we can get the
wizard (as in the SL-5 LiveCD) that would be great because then we can
feed-in the network name and key and get connected to virtually any required
network. So switching would be easy!
Thank you.
Best wishes,
