My dist doesn't have dhclient, so I've been using ifdown and ifup... 
they work with eth0 and on eth1 (for grabbing an IP only) at work.

No error messages... if I try to ping my router I get a "no connection" 
sor something of that sort.

Are you speaking of your Router's firewall, or the firewall on your 
thinkpad?  I guess I have no idea whether SuSE 9 is running a firewall 
by default or not... I haven't found a GUI configurator... but I could 
see how it might have eth1 locked down (since it didn't exist when I 
installed).

Any ideas?

I believe you shouldn't have to specify the channel, the essid should be enough... And if you see the AP's MAC, then... there you go.

I have to make the card request an IP from the AP by using the command:
	dhclient
