WPA is handled via wpa_supplicant. I am not running 10.3 but in previous versions the wpa_supplicant support was handled transparently by YaST (mostly). There should be some documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/wpa_supplicant The YaST used to store the wpa supplicant info in /etc/sysconfig and these are used by the card location scripts to create a temporary config file for wpa_supplicant. Again cannot say whether this applies to 10.3. If you have a dig around in the /etc/sysconfig/network directory there will be a number of configuration files of the form.... ifcfg-<network device>-id-<card mac address> This should contain a number of settings related to WPA. If YaST is not offering WPA option you can try this... I do not expect it to work but the errors will be informative.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
