Good day everyone,
and really thank you for your cooperation and quick response.
Regarding the Wireless router here is the info I got:
> SSID (Network name),
> Network Authentication (WPA-PSK),
> Encryption (AES),
> and Passphrase/key
I used the above directly with Windows XP and Vista and the connection was smooth and successfull.
In SuSE, when I defice the wireless network I get the following questions:
> Network name (ESSID) should be the same as above,
> Wireless Security (instead of Network Authentication),
> Encryption (looks like above),
> Passphrase - same,
then I get another screen asking for new things:
> Wireless security, and this is different from the above. in the drop-down list I get things like this:
- WEB 40/128 bit key
- WEB 128 bit passphrase
> Authentication : Open System / Shared key
and regarless what I try in the new screen nothing proceed successfully!
