Hello Guys Over the past few weeks i have had issues connecting to wireless networks using Suse 11.3, sometimes it connects flawlessly other times no number or restarts will get it to connect, sometimes it just keeps requesting for the WPA encryption key despite typing it in right. There is a bug where DHCP on the wlan interface fails if the SSID ends in a digit but I changed my home SSID to all letters, it worked for a while then became intermittent again, can't quite figure out what the problem is, any ideas would be welcome, below are some of the log messages ;(
