The issue is with the suse specific system settings loader: it tries to use the wireless information stored in yast configuration files and does it incompletely.

I agree with you with regards to that - that is why I raised the issue here in an attempt to call attention to it :)

use the "Connect to Other Wireless Network..." dialog in the applet to manually create a new connection.

My wifi connection works fine on my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card once I boot and I select my named (and configured) WPA connection via KNetworkerManager. Mind you it only works fine because I also did the following (but that's another problem !) # initial lsmod results post Beta 1 install jpearson@linux:~/.kde/share/config> lsmod | grep 3945 iwl3945 106332 0 firmware_class 25984 3 microcode,pcmcia,iwl3945 mac80211 190356 1 iwl3945 # 1 I downloaded compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdriver...
