Hi Klaas,

configuring a wireless connection with openSUSE 10.3 is quite an easy task with 
NetworkManager... just find the BSSID you want to connect to and NetworkManager 
will ask you for the WEP-key, in this case.

If you are 100% that the WEP-key is correct then search your system logs 
(/var/log/messages or dmesg) to check whether the card is recognized by your 
openSuSE 10.3 or not and if it is you should check its configuration...


HTH,
Martin
