2.2.1 Configuring a Profile
A profile allows you to save the settings for different wireless networks; e.g., for
your home or at work. There are two ways of adding a WLAN profile: The easier,
thus typically preferred, method is described in
Section 1.2 Connecting to a
Wireless Access Point
; the other way, as described here, allows you to create
a profile manually, which means that you need to key in all values yourself. If you
are not sure which values your wireless network uses, you should by all means
proceed as outlined in
Section 1.2
using the Available Networks screen.
On the profile tab, click
Add
