Managed to get the wlan0 card to show up in ifconfig and I can ping
it's address but not the router - I suspect the channel isn't set to the
right number. What file does SuSE to set a wireless channel number?
Go to file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-pcmcia
Here's what mine looks like (censored) :
BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST='192.168.123.255'
DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes'
IPADDR='192.168.123.110'
MTU=''
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='192.168.123.0'
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='hotplug'
UNIQUE=''
WIRELESS='yes'
WIRELESS_ESSID='xyz'
WIRELESS_KEY='set a hexkey'
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_CHANNEL='your channel number'
Good luck.
