I have a WPA_PSK network at home which I configured easily with yast2. Now $WORK is wanting me to use a WPA_EAP network with different SSID and name/password etc. instead of the wired system I hav eused up to now.
I cannot see how to configure this. I have tried using wpa_gui as well but that does not save the configuration even when it is almost working.
As ever I do not run KDE or Gnome; X with fvwm window manager. I did try the network manager but that did exactly nothing.
I am happy hacking configuration files but I do not know where to start.

To do that with ifup, you need to create two versions of the configuration files
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. Call them ifcfg-wlan0-home and …-work.
When you change locations, run a script that copies the appropriate one to
ifcfrg-wlan0.
Using NetworkManager to handle this situation is ideal; however, getting the
applet to work with fvwm may be a problem. With only 2 locations, the scripts
above will work.
