Any reason you didn't install opensuse 10.2 on it? Wireless on network manager is a lot simpler on 10.2...
Just a stab in the dark, try putting your actual passphrase for 'psk', instead of the hex encoded version. Just for kicks... (noticed something like this a while back when I was running openwrt on my wrt54g v3).
Anyway, you shouldn't have to worry about this stuff on 10.2, as it's pretty seamless.

Hello all, I recently acquired a inspiron 8600 laptop that I fixed up. I installed openSuSE 10.0 on it and went to setup the wireless card. I am not a newbie to linux or suse, but I am to wireless on linux... So over the past three days I have been searching the web and I think
Wade, Believe it or not, I simply could not get 10.2 to install on this laptop... This laptop me thinks may just be against me. Probably because it originally came with XP. heh. :-) I have not dug deeper into it, but I have been using the 10.2 DVD image and on this laptop I get errors that package files are invalid. Tried a different DVD drive via USB on the laptop... same thing... And I have used that DVD successfully on other machines. Go figure... Either way... I tried your suggestion and unfortunately I still get the same nothingness.

I am very close here... but something is still missing.
If anyone can shed some light onto this issue it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!! -Cheers, Peter.
BTW... I can associate with, ping, etc. with an unencrypted open basestation... but not with my Linksys WRT54G v6
