Choose your wireless card from the list and click Edit to open the Network Card Setup
dialog. Configure whether to use a dynamic or a static IP address under the tab Address.
You can also adjust General and Hardware settings such as Device Activation or
Firewall Zone and driver settings. In most cases there is no need to change the precon-

Click Next to proceed to the wireless network card specific configuration dialog. If you
are using NetworkManager (refer to

will be set by NetworkManager on demand—proceed with Next and Yes to finish the
configuration. If you are using your computer only in a specific wireless network, make
