kinternet wireless connection

Hi,

i'm using suse on my laptop, and almost everything is working fine.
However, with kinternet, i have a little problem. When i want to connect
with my wep-wireless accespoint, i have to make te connection manually. I
don't have to fill in the wep key , but i do have to click on kinternet,
scan connections, choose my connection from the list click connect, click
ok and than close the kinternet dialog. When i disable wep (on my
accespoint and in yast) i don't have to make the connection manually.

So i guess, somewhere, i made a mistake in the configuaration, or i m
missing something very obvious. As i stated before, this is not a big
problem, once connected, i'm good for the rest of my session. It is just a
little bit anoying. Anyone an idea what goes wrong?

Jan,

If you want to find an application with yast and it does not show up
make sure you check the "Provides" box and search again, this should
also search the packages for what is included in them.

Or use the pin command, the first time this is run it will ask for the
install cd/dvd and copy the archives.gz which contains all the files
and apps that are in all packages and can then search through the
database afterwards you can just open a console and:

pin kwifimanager

Which will printout to the console all references and rpms that contain
the needed app/file.
