Gulli, Thanks! Although your fix didn't fix my issue, it put me on the right track. There appears to be bug in 10.0 that even if your key (I'm using wep) is pre-shared, you need to set the option to open!? That's just weird as it shouldn't work that way at all, but it does. I set my Authentication Mode to open instead of preshared (the option I had to use in 9.3 and on windows) and now it works. Thanks for the tip!

Have you tried changing the corresponding ifcfg file in /etc/sysconfig/network? YaST does not set the wireless up correctly for me as it always ends up in restricted mode. What I do is add the word open after the WEP key (but within the quotes) in that file and that does the trick for me.

When I converted from 9.3 to 10.0, my Netgear wireless card stopped working. I did some research and found that adding PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT='no' ... to the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-bus-pci-0000:03:00.0 script fixed it. You might give that a try. Michael -- San Francisco, CA
Well I installed Suse last night on my laptop with the ipw2100, that was working perfectly on Fedora4, but not on Suse. The ipw2100 module is loading , but how do I know if the ipw2100-firmware driver is installed, it is a separate package from ipw2100 driver which is doing it's job. In fedora if I typed in rpm -qa | grep ipw2100 , I could see the ipw2100 packages installed, how do you do it in Suse. In fedora the driver package came standard with Fedora but the Firmware package did not. http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ is the site ipw2100,ipw2200 info. Jim Daniel Hatfield wrote:

Just grep the rpm -qa output for "ipw" (the SUSE package is named ipw-firmware). BTW, you can also check /var/log/messages while loading the ipw2100 module.

Still can't get my ipw2100 to work, ipw module is loading,ieee80211_crypt_wep module is loading,, ipw-firmware is installed. I have attached my /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan file. My router will only accept encryption code to connect., I have two handhelds and my laptop Dell Inspiron8600 with fedora4 working wireless, but I installed Suse10 on the laptop and now I can't connect to router. iwconfig shows the card but it shows it not connected.
