This isn't a show stopper, but it is very frustrating.
After setting Suse 10 up on my laptop (I used to run 9.3 and yes it's a clean install), wireless configuration through Yast doesn't work. I know my settings are correct (I've rentered them several times). I know
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!

So, this is what happens:
If I run iwconfig after configuring yast it shows all the correct setting (essid, wep key, mode), but is says it's unassociated and that
the security mode is restricted!? If i just run iwconfig with all of my settings from the CL and it connects right up. Connecting from the command line isn't the end of the world, but it is a digression.
I would soo love to get this working. Overall I love Suse 10, but if can't get this fixed I may be rolling back to 9.3.
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 !
