openSUSE offers several ways of integrating laptops into existing operating environ-
ments:
NetworkManager
NetworkManager is especially tailored for mobile networking on laptops. It provides
a means to easily and automatically switch between network environments or dif-
ferent types of networks such as mobile broadband (such as GPRS, EDGE, or 3G),
wireless LAN, and Ethernet. NetworkManager supports WEP and WPA-PSK en-
cryption in wireless LANs. It also supports dial-up connections (with smpppd).
Both desktop environments (GNOME and KDE) include a front-end for Network-
Manager. For more information about the desktop applets, see Section 25.4, “Using
the KDE NetworkManager Front-End” (page 455) and Section 25.5, “Using GNOME
NetworkManager” (page 458).
Table 22.1:
Use Cases for NetworkManager
Use NetworkManagerMy computer…
Yesis a laptop
Yesis sometimes attached to different
networks
Noprovides network services (such as
DNS or DHCP)
Noonly uses a static IP address
Use the YaST tools to congure networking whenever NetworkManager should
not handle network conguration.
TIP: DNS conguration and various types of network connections
If you travel frequently with your laptop and change different types of
network connections, NetworkManager works ne when all DNS addresses
are assigned correctly assigned with DHCP. If some of your connections
use static DNS address(es), add it to the
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS option in /etc/sysconfig/
network/config.
