1.9 Managing Internet Connections

To surf the Internet or send and receive e-mail messages, you must have configured an Internet connection with YaST as described in Section 1.14.3, Network, (↑ Start-Up ) or in Section 20.4.1, Configuring the Network Card with YaST, (↑ Reference ). Depending on your environment, select whether to use NetworkManager or the traditional method. For a list of criteria that help you to decide which method to use, refer to Section 10.0, Managing Network Connections with NetworkManager, (↑ Start-Up ) and Section 9.1.2, Integration in Changing Operating Environments, (↑ Start-Up ). If you use NetworkManager, establish and manage Internet connections in KDE with the KNetworkManager desktop applet. Find detailed information in Section 10.0, Managing Network Connections with NetworkManager, (↑ Start-Up ).
