Just a couple of more facts on this. I can't connect with the traditional ifup method either, if I configure the ESSID with the name "Hyatt" and setting it to unencrypted in the graphic interface in yast. I thought that if someone knew how to do this via command line I could get some readout that might tell me why this isn't connecting. I can get on with wind***, but not with linux. When I try to connect via kinternet, I can see that it is communicating with the router but it won't log on. I am using kde 3.5, knetworkmanager, and opensuse 11.1.

Hi, I am staying in a hotel and for some reason I can't connect to the internet with wireless to the hotel router using kinternet. I went back through some old posts to the mailing list and found that I can scan for the available wireless routers via command line.
I used iwlist wlan0 scan to find a list of the available wireless routers. The one that I think has the highest power provides the following information:
Cell 04 - Address: 00:03:52:A9:88:00 ESSID: "Hyatt" Protocol: IEEE802.11b Mode: Master Channel: 1 Encryption Key: Off Bit Rates: 11 Mb/s Extra: Rates (Mb/s): 1 2 5.5 11 Quality=86/100 Signal Level=-65dBm Noise level=-113dBm Extra: Last beacon: 181ms ago
My question is, what commands with the terminal do I use to connect to this router?
Thanks
