Default Re: What packagedo I need for 'make'?

OK, I definitely seem to be making some progress...

I installed the driver .rpm and now when I click the little planet icon in my system tray I get a wlan0 connection show up which it didn't before (although the planet icon is still grey).

In the list of networks, our network name shows up with a little progress bar type indicator next to it. When I click our network name, the planet icon turns to a spinning cog for a few seconds, then turns back to a grey planet.

In YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Settings, my WUSB11 V2.6 802.11b Adapter now shows the IP as DHCP, whereas before it was 'Not configured'. Below, it says 'Not connected' and lists a MAC address I'm not familiar with (I have 3 written down for our network and it isn't any of these).

Also, an 'unknown network device' appears in the list which wasn't there before (and isn't configured)... So, I have three network devices in the list: 1) WUSB... 2) Unknown and 3) Ethernet Network Card.

How do I join our network now, assuming I've goofed on a setting somewhere (i.e., can you walk me through what I need to do from the start).
