Jim, It is working, just not through Yast. I've been writing all of these email using it. I use the script I wrote as a work around. I makes it very easy (not as easy as it would be with Yast). Using my script all you need to do is open a terminal a root and run the script. It then asks you "Where do you want to log on?" I've set up 3 options for myself, but you can set up as many as you like. If decide to setup 10 and want my script just ask. It's my first attempt at bash scripting, but it works.

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.
