I installed SuSE 11 RC1 and everything except wireless works.
I have a ThinkPad T60 laptop with 11abg wireless card which works with
my default distro  mepis 7.01 and wireless works "right  out of the box".

This is what I tried:

yast 2 -- Network services: No wireless shown
         Network Devices:  No wireless shown
         Network Settings: AR5212 802.11 abg -- NIC not configured
                                               
KnetworkManager shows: eth0 (ethernet) (no carrier) I don't have it 
connected
                      ath0 shown on mepis, atheros wireless

# iwconfig -- Listed below from mepis, a working wireless:

"ath0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"linksys"  Nickname:"default"
         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 
00:1A:70:6E:4C:4E   
         Bit Rate:48 Mb/s   Tx-Power:8 dBm   Sensitivity=1/1  
         Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
         Encryption key:off
         Power Management:off
         Link Quality=36/70  Signal level=-62 dBm  Noise level=-98 dBm
         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0"

1 - How do I config my NIC in yast 2 network settings?
2 - How do  I add "ath0" using iwconfig?

I am impressed with 11 RC1, it will be great if I can get wireless to work.
