Default help with "Wireles disabled"

Hello.

Sorry if I ask for help on a subject that I guess must be answerd many times, but I am (in spite of my age) too ignorant on linux, hardware and networks in particular.

I have an AMILO laptop (about 4 years old) and I am not able to have the wireless connections working with suse 11.0 (KDE 4.0).

First of all, I must say that since I changed on other partition from XP HOME to XP PRO my PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (that has to be activated pressing a botton) left working, then I got a Conceptronic C54RC wirless card that I can connect in the PC-MCIA slot and with the software for windows it is now working ok.

In my suse partitions I have these network settings:
1. eth0 (works ok via wire)
2. eth1 (PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection, with the status "Wireles disabled").
3. wlan0 (I suppose it must my PC-MCIA card, with the status "Wireles disabled").

A very strange thing that happened is the following, I made a network installation via wire but then I retried the installation (I selected the repair option the second time) without the wire and the installation managed to download software with my PC-MCIA card (I say it is strange because the installation was able to use the card but I am not able to have it working now the system is installed).

Thanks in advance.
