Any ideas about what I might try to get linux working well?
Are you sure it doesn't just need a keepalive? Does it drop you in the middle of traffic as well?
Often just keeping the connection busy is enough

I forgot to mention in my previous reply that if I connect with Windows, the connection can remain dormant for hours and as soon as I reinitiate browsing there is an immediate response. The wireless connection stays active the whole time. The windows wireless connection is never dropped as the suse wireless connection is.
does that also happen if you do a ping in the background? So that you have continuously network traffic?

Yes, it does still drop offline even while pinging.
Also, I tried to get a static IP from the tech services guy, and it still dropped offline.
I am gone from the hotel now, but if anyone has any better ideas post back and I will try them the next time I get to that hotel.
Sure this comments come too late now. However it most probably will come on other scenarios. Do you mentioned what kind of Wireless Network Adapter your Laptop uses? Did you mention what Wireles Network Driver your Laptop is using right now? I think these answers may be very useful to determine or isolate where this issue come from.
