Folks,
When trying to hook up my laptop to a wireless network, what more is
needed to activate the security key than entering the 26-character key
in the appropriate "box" using YaST? When I do so (and after I've
reconfigured my firewall to recognize wlan0 as my doorway to the great
beyond) my computer sees the connection. But when I run iwconfig, the
encryption setting appears as "off." All the other information iwconfig
gives clearly shows that the laptop is seeing the wireless hub. And I
found no blindingly obvious (to me anyway) setting within YaST to change
the off to on.
Best regards,
Pete
