Hi, I am using eth1-pcmcia by taking "kernel" instead of "ëxternal" With orinoco.o Hardware is all detected correctly as far as I can tell. In /etc/sysconfig/wireless/ I put the WEP key something like "1234-5678-9012-3456-78" to enable 126-bit WEP. This does not match exactly with the sixteen digit which SuSE seems to favor. I do not know. However, putting "öff" did not work either for an WEP disabled wireless router. I think I screwed with the DHCP. Anyway. please help after examining the following I would appreciate it greatly if any one can lead me to the right direction. Thank you.
