Thread: Graphical interface for ThinkPad R31 & SUSE 10.1




Graphical interface for ThinkPad R31 & SUSE 10.1

I'm trying to find some sort of graphical interface, for
selecting and
connecting to WiFi networks, with my ThinkPad R31 & SUSE
10.1.  The
problem with tools such as Wlanassistant and KWiFiManager is
that they
use iwconfig, but the drivers for the Prism chipset do not
accept
iwconfig commands.  Instead, it uses wlancfg-ng.  Is there
*ANY*
graphical tool that will do this?

tnx jk

in /etc/modprobe.conf, add:

options p80211 wlan_wext=1

And see what happens.
