5.5.3 Conguring Your Wireless Card as an Access Point
If your wireless card supports access point mode, you can use NetworkManager for
conguration.
NOTE: Availability of Options
Depending on your system set-up, you may not be allowed to congure connec-
tions. In a secured environment, some options might be locked or require root
permission. Ask your system administrator for details.
1 Click the NetworkManager applet and select Create New Wireless Network.
2 Enter a Network Name and set the encryption to use with the Wireless Secu-
rity drop-down list.
IMPORTANT: Unprotected Wireless Networks Are a Security Risk
If you set Wireless Security to None, everybody can connect to your network,
reuse your connectivity and intercept your network connection. To restrict
access to your access point and to secure your connection, use encryption.
You can choose between various WEP and WPA–based encryptions. If you
are not sure which technology is best for you, read Section Authentication
(Chapter 32, Wireless LAN, ↑Reference).
5.6 NetworkManager and VPN
NetworkManager supports several Virtual Private Network (VPN) technologies. For
each technology, openSUSE comes with a base package providing the generic support
for NetworkManager. In addition to that, you also need to install the respective
desktop-specic package for your applet.
NovellVPN
To use this VPN technology, install
NetworkManager-novellvpn and
