Reinhard,

Give up?  Ha! Not hardly.  I posted this question to 3 forums and this
mailing list; I'm determined.

My wireless card is an Intel pro wireless 2200BG (ipw2200 module).

Restarting the network service doesn't fix it.  It behaves exactly like
it does at boot.

Per you suggestion, I changed my LAN port to activate on cable connect.
Still the same results.

Thanks!

Daniel

It would be interesting to know the WLAN hardware used ...

What happens when you issue "/etc/init.d/network restart" (as user root)
?

Have you set up an additional LAN port ? If yes, did you enable "on 
cable connect" for "device activation" in the section 
[advanced]-[detailed settings] of the LAN port configuration ?

I had similar problems as I started with SuSE 9.3 on my notebook. Using 
"on cable connect" for the LAN port helped to get the WLAN port running 
more stable.

Never give up !

Best regards,
Reinhard.
