Benjamin, Thanks for the suggestion, but the only way I can get it to work is by running iwconfig and dhcpcd. They all is well. Do you have to run those steps every time you boot? If so, I have a script I wrote for configuring my wifi card (a work around to my current issues). It allows me to select the wireless network I'm on and then sets the rest up for me. If you would like it, I'll send it to you.

Hello all,
This isn't a show stopper, but it is very frustrating.
After setting Suse 10 up on my laptop (I used to run 9.3 and yes it's a
clean install), wireless configuration through Yast doesn't work. I know my settings are correct (I've rentered them several times). I know the module is correct, because all that I need to do is iwconfig and dhcpcd to get it working (I have to do it every time I boot). So, this is what happens:
If I run iwconfig after configuring yast it shows all the correct setting (essid, wep key, mode), but is says it's unassociated and that the security mode is restricted!? If i just run iwconfig with all of my settings from the CL and it connects right up. Connecting from the command line isn't the end of the world, but it is a digression.
I would soo love to get this working. Overall I love Suse 10, but if can't get this fixed I may be rolling back to 9.3.
Thanks, Daniel

Substitute the 'X' with the number of your wireless card... e.g. "eth0" or "eth1"
It worked for me... but it's pretty annoying that there's no GUI with a button saying "renew WLAN DHCP".

I use the ipw2100 on Fedora4 on a Dell Laptop inspiron8600 and my DSL modem requires a encryption code before It will connect to the router is there a possibility that your in the same boat. Also there are drivers for the ipw2100 and ipw2200 and each card requires it's own driver. For the ipw2100 to run on Fedora I have three rpms ipw2100-kmdl # which is the kernel module for the kernel your running ipw2100 # which is the driver ipw2100-firmware #which is the firmware for the ipw2100 The ipw2200 use the packages only for the ipw2200. I want to put Suse10 on my laptop but getting the ipw211 to work is why I'm holding off. I will be watching your post to see if you get it working. Jim
Is this ipw2200 card being run on a Laptop if so, your not properly setup under pcmcia. I think, but not sure that ipw2100-2200 is run on laptops only. Is the ipw2200 driver part of the Suse install or do you have to install another driver? jim jim wrote:
