 |
|
Can anyone suggest what network manager I should use for my wireless card. I have an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG network card. I just need a program that will manage my wireless connection. Automatically remember my connection and connect as soon as it spots it. But will also give me the option to see other wifi spots and connect to them. So far knetworkmanager does not remember my WEP and I have to put it in every single time. It is so annoying.

Unfortunately (k)network-manager is the best one on the market as far as I can see.
I looked for ages and while it was annoying and didn't work every now and again
NetworkManager is by far the best option when it comes to wireless.
I've got an Ubuntu box and it runs like a charm on that....

Does it remember your SSID and your WEP Key? I have to put the SSID and WEP Key every single time i reboot.

It did yes, although I had some other weird problems with NM on Gentoo which I
got bored of trying to fix.

Ok im trying to emerge knetwork manager and it keeps crapping out on me. First of all its masked. Then it just craps out after I use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86". Here is what I have so far:
| Code: | mv -f ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Tpo" ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/NetworkManager-nm-device-802-3-ethernet.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
In file included from /usr/include/linux/mii.h:12,

Yup... just comment the problematic lines of code, emerge, and uncomment... It works for me...
