Another point : in my experience, wireless support in OpenSuSE, when used in conjunction with a wired connection, requires some manual manipulation (i.e., the TCP/IP stack won't automatically "switch" to using the wireless upon disconnecting the LAN cable) -- I usually deal with it by manually doing a "ifdown eth0" (that's the wired one) followed by an "ifdown wlan0 / ifup wlan0" (that's the wireless). This issue may be due to the specificities of my setup though. YMMV.
Have you tried that with oS 11.2? On my netbook running one 11.2 and using KNetworkManager (using the ath9k WiFi driver), the switch over from wired to wireless is perfect... if I'm on wireless and I plug in a network cable, it takes a couple seconds, and I see a popup on my KDE4 taskbar letting me know it's connected via the wired NIC... I unplug, and it notifies of the disconnect, and swaps over to my WiFi... which takes a little bit longer to connect than the wired because it has to negotiate the WEP part.
