Description Joachim Gleissner 2005-07-27 09:51:51 UTC 
I did select my wireless LAN card in yast2 lan, but in the next dialog (network
address setup) the interface type and mac address of the ethernet card instead
of the selected wlan one is shown.

Comment 3 Matthias Hopf 2005-07-27 14:29:53 UTC 
I found this as well. Moving the configuration file by hand (thanks, seife!) worked.

Additionally, one has to specify 'WIRELESS=yes' in the configuration, in order
to get the ESSID setup correctly.
Comment 4 Joachim Gleissner 2005-07-28 07:46:01 UTC 
The WIRELESS='yes' is needed to work around bug 97579.
