Hi,
here is the output for hwinfo --wlan. Please note that I have entered the

I want to clarify that this issue of the transfer rate slowing until it quits
altogether only occurs on the troublesome hotel wifi networks, and only on
openSuse and not Windows. I use the same built-in cards for Windows as for
openSuse, so it seems to me that the wlan hardware isn't at fault.
When I use the wifi networks at work or home, or on seemingly "compatible"
hotel wifi networks, the transfer rate doesn't ever slow down. So I think that
the problem hotel networks are cutting down the transfer rate until it is
finally cut off altogether. Rather than assigning this problem to the wlan
cards on my laptops, it seems that the Windows software provides something that
the opensuse doesn't that is required on many hotel networks. Since opensuse
doesn't provide "X" to the hotel wifi networks that windows does, the hotel
network cuts off opensuse but gives windows a pass to continue.
