your right, i wasn't thinking right. All you need is someone giving bad
info.
Sorry about that.

I don't understand why PCMCIA would be part of the problem. The ipw2200
is a mini-pci card. That said, I'll try anything.

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?

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.
Thanks for trying to help,
Daniel

Login as root and try this:
# > ifdown ethX
# > killall dhcpcd
# > ifup ethX
# > dhcpcd
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".

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

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
