Thanks, I’ll try this. It would be nice to be able to reclaim the nicely working, original GUI.
As far as I know there are no commandline options for NetworkManager. To connect to your wlan try “dhclient wlan0” instead of “dhcpd wlan0”, because the dhcp server should be running on your wireless router.
Ah, I was confused by having both of them–didn’t realize there was a distinction.
you can disable NetworkManager now and reenable it later.
How can NetworkManager be disabled and reenabled? The yast -> network… didn’t provide any hints, just the warning about them being mutually exclusive. No help in man -k networkmanager, either.
