Plasma Mobile - is there a wifi selector
by Troy Dawson
I'm loving Plasma Mobile, and I want to do a writeup on it, but there is
one critical thing missing, possibly. An easy way to connect to a new wifi
spot.
On a regular Plasma Desktop (with plasma-nm installed) to connect to a new
wifi you click on the network icon, you see a list of wifi networks. You
click on "connect" and a pop up asks you for the password, you type in the
password, and you are connected.
On Plasma Mobile, you click on the wifi button, and if you don't have your
wifi setup, literally nothing happens. You have to click on "Settings"
which pulls up the generic plasma settings. Scroll down and select
"Connections", find the little + at the bottom, select "Wifi" and
"+Create", click on SSID, find the correct SSID and select it. Change tabs
to "Wifi Security" put in the password, decide whether you want it just for
you (default) or for anyone on the computer, then click "Save"
Can you see why I really don't want to put that into my writeup.
It's very possible I don't have something installed and/or setup
correctly. And if that is so, please tell me.
It's also possible nothing has been written yet. If so, can someone point
me to the write place to start helping with this? All my searches keep
leading me to wifi not working in general, nothing about it being hard to
setup.
Thank you for any help/feedback
