[opensuse] How to Diagnose Wireless
I'm very frustrated with the Wireless I get on my laptops.

I have - for example - a fairly new laptop with an Intel 3945 ABG Wifi
configured at wlan0.

It mostly works.

Every once in awhile it just won't connect to my access point.

Just now, it dropped the connection, after havign been on for three days. I
could not force it to reconnect.

I went ahead and pulled a cable over that I was using for another compuer and
plugged it in. That connected just fine.

My /var/log/messages doesn't seem to tell me much...

this without havign to su to root?
