Hi there!
I experienced some not-no-nice behaviour when using the default application on SuSE 10.2 called kwifimanager ... it shows the different networks but I still haven't managed to use it for connecting... -- if you did, please let me know!
Instead, I installed http://wlassistant.sourceforge.net/ and everything worked just fine.
HTH, Martin

This is slightly OT, but relevant nevertheless. I stopped by a Starbucks in London today and wanted to use the internet. Network manager sees the "default" network, but can't connect. When I look in my logs I see DHCP request getting sent, but no reply.
How do these things work?
Thanks Hans
I am not sure about London but here in the Colonies Star Bucks is a paid for service. It looks to the casual eye like it is a WIFI hotspot but it is supplied by a company that wants you to subscribe. I could easily be wrong, but that is my impression. Go try another spot and see what happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
