I have a T61, with the same wireless card and same problems. I eventually 
found out there was a problem with the iwl4965 drivers and kernels later than 
2.6.22. I got RC1 to work by adding the ipw driver and if-up in the global 
configuration for network cards in Yast.

No such luck, however, in 11.0 GR. To get it working I had to switch back to 
knetwork manager and install the compat-wireless drivers. 

You can find them from this link:

You may need to reboot after installation.
