Hi all,
Thanks for the useful responses to my earlier post several days ago. "iwlist scan" works fine for identifying WiFI hotspots, as does KWifiManager.
However, I am still having trouble determining the correct settings for the wireless device profile (eth1) in config-system-network.
If I configure it to automatically obtain the IP number using DHCP (with the "automatically obtain DNS information from provider" option turned on), on activation the program spends a minute or so trying to determine IP information before ending in failure.
However, if I manually supply an IP number such as 192.168.1.2, the connection comes up almost instantly, but DNS lookup doesn't work, hence I can't browse or do anything useful.
For eth0, the RJ45 wire ethernet connection, the DHCP lookup with automatic DNS setting works fine. I have no additional DNS or gateway entries defined.
Suggestions anyone?
