Wireless Connection - DNS issues and DHCP at the airport.
Running SLED 10.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T60.
I could not get DNS with wireless network connections under WPA unless
I hard coded the DNS server address in the wireless network card
settings via Yast i.e no DHCP. This was fine on the home network
but not at the airport. The solution seems to be:
For the wireless network card set the "hostname" to something
meaningful and deselect "Change hostname via DHCP". The OK to
implement the change.
yast==> netword devices ==> wireless card ==> edit ==> hostname and
name server ==> de-select

That may do the trick for the wireless at the libraries around here. I'll
have to give that a try. Thanks!
