how to connect to a wireless router using linux’s opensuse?

I am very new to opensuse. I don’t even know where to go to scan for the wireless routers in ther area. Can someone please help me connect to my wireless router at home.

Well, the first thing to know is if your adapter is compatible or if you need to run NDIS wrapper to use the adapter?

has a list and what is needed.

Once your adapter is working.
Here is a great “Connector” method

Just using the KNetworkManager should get you going, once the adapter is live.

Hope that helps

How to Ensure Data Security by Using an Effective Firewall?

Data security is extremely important for every person that uses a computer system. One of the best ways that you can ensure data security is by using a firewall. A firewall is a program that is built in to most computer systems. It can also be a hardware device that helps to block intrusions from worms, hackers, and even viruses.

 

The intrusions that the firewall blocks are those that try to reach the system through the internet. While you can ensure data security by way of a firewall, it is essential to understand that it needs to be supplemented with a decent program that focuses on eliminating viruses and spyware. This will ensure maximum protection.

 

If you are on a network, whether it is in the home or at a business, it is absolutely essential that you ensure that you activate a firewall on each and every single system in that network. Many feel if they have a router, which is a firewall that is hardware based, that is enough. However, it is not. Every computer should have an active firewall on the system.

 

You may find that choosing a firewall for your system is a challenge. There are three basic types of firewalls that can be selected. First, you have the standard firewall that is a software program. Next, you have the firewall that is an actual piece of hardware. Then, you have a firewall that is automatically built in to the wireless routers that you find on many types of networks.

 

In order to determine which type of firewall is most appropriate for your particular situation, there are a few things that you must consider. These considerations are as follows:

 

1. How many computers will this particular firewall be responsible for handling?

 

2. What types of operating systems do these computers implement? An operating system is represented by Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.

 

If you have a Microsoft Windows operating system that has XP with the Service Pack 2 or the Vista version, you may benefit from using the firewall that is built in to Windows. This firewall is built in to the system and it automatically turned on to ensure data security.

 

Many individuals who have Windows XP have elected to not download Service Pack 2. If you are one of these individuals, you may be wondering if it is possible to benefit from a firewall that is built into Windows. The answer is “yes”. You can enjoy protection through the Internet Connection Firewall, but it is important that you turn this function on in order to benefit from the protection that it offers.

 

There are many different types of firewalls that you can purchase as standalone software for your computer system if you elect to. These types of firewalls are extremely beneficial for individuals who have the operating system of Windows 98, ME, 200, and even Linux, and Macintosh. The only real downfall to these types of programs is that they can prove to be costly and it may prove to be challenging when it comes to the initial installation and configuration.

 

The latest version of Windows is Windows 7 which was released sometime in October 2009. This version has proved to be the best among all earlier Windows operating systems in terms of functionality, built-in security features and ease of use. I would strongly suggest that you upgrade your computer’s operating systems to Windows 7 at your earliest.

 

If you have a network in your home, or at your business, it may be best to have the firewall of a hardware router. These pieces of hardware can connect many different computers at once. This security is supplemental to any firewall that is already installed on the computer systems. It does require a little wiring when it comes to setup. This is a minor complication compared to the dangers that hackers, worms, and viruses can pose to your system.

 

If you have a wireless network in your home, it is important to ensure that you have a wireless router. Not only does this router assist in establishing an internet connection, it is also beneficial in acting as a firewall. The downfall to these types of firewalls is that it broadcasts a signal via radio waves that can be accessed by someone outside of the network if they know how to do so.

 

If you use a wireless router, it is important that it is equipped with a proper password. It may take some money to purchase the additional equipment, but it is well worth the safety and security that is offered to your network. This is essential to ensuring the protection of your data. If you want to ensure the data security on your computers, a good firewall, or a multiple firewall is an absolute must.
