Well I installed Suse last night on my laptop with the ipw2100, that was
working perfectly on Fedora4, but not on Suse.
The ipw2100 module is loading , but how do I know if the
ipw2100-firmware driver is installed, it is a separate package from
ipw2100 driver
which is doing it's job.
In fedora if I typed in rpm -qa | grep ipw2100 , I could see the ipw2100
packages installed, how do you do it in Suse.
In fedora the driver package came standard with Fedora but the Firmware
package did not.
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ is the site ipw2100,ipw2200 info.

Gulli,
Thanks! Although your fix didn't fix my issue, it put me on the right track.
There appears to be bug in 10.0 that even if your key (I'm using wep) is
pre-shared, you need to set the option to open!? That's just weird as it
shouldn't work that way at all, but it does. I set my Authentication Mode to
open instead of preshared (the option I had to use in 9.3 and on windows) and
now it works.
Thanks for the tip!
Daniel

If I run iwconfig after configuring yast it shows all the correct setting

world, but it is a digression.
Have you tried changing the corresponding ifcfg file in
/etc/sysconfig/network? YaST does not set the wireless up correctly for
me as it always ends up in restricted mode. What I do is add the word
open after the WEP key (but within the quotes) in that file and that
does the trick for me.
