Hello all,

 

This is my first posting and I hope I'm doing it in the right place.  I am
pretty new to linux; I've used Kubuntu and Xandros and so far SUSE has been
the best over all by far!

 

Anyway, I am dual booting Windows XP Pro and SUSE Linux 10.1 on a DELL
Inspiron 6000.  I have an Intel Wirelss 2915ABG wireless card and when I go
into the network interface, it seems to find it because I see a network
interface that says "Intel Wireless 2915ABG" or something to that effect
anyway.  It also finds my Ethernet card as well and I'm able to connect to
the internet through it, but for some reason I can't use my Wireless card.
it's almost as if it isn't even running and won't start.  If I can get it
running I'd be connecting to a Wireless G router that is encrypted with a
64bit WEP Key (yes I know the WEP Key and SSID).  Any help on the matter
would be greatly appreciated because what I've seen and used so far of SUSE
is awesome!  Thanks!
