Help needed connecting WiFi - if you've done so, please share your=20
experience.

With SuSE 9.3 Pro installed on a Thinkpad T42, the Intel Centrio 2200BG=20
wireless 'card' is recognized and tools are present for setting up the card=
.=20
The driver is the IPW2200 from sourceforge.net <http://sourceforge.net> (th=
e=20
site for which I've combed thru for advice).=20

I can not get a connection. KInternet reveals a current connection for the=
=20
2200BG with my ESSID but nothings working / associated.

kwifimanager shows similar results. I have had this sucker up and running i=
n=20
minutes under Win XP.

Thanks in advance - - Google has not been my friend and the SuSE Admin Guid=
e=20
for Ver 9.3 was of little help.
