I have been reading and trying, and getting rather frustrated with Suse.....I am an ole coot (in my high 70s) with 4 computers, 1. laptop with XP, 1. desktop with Ubuntu, 1. a desktop with Debian, and Fedora, and my nemises, a laptop with Vixta and Suse 10.3. I have them all networked. The Ubuntu desktop in my garage is wireless, the XP laptop has a wireless card, the Debian and fedora Desktop is wired in my office, the laptop with Vixta and Suse works well (wirelss) with Vixta, but the Suse part of that laptop is near to getting deleted and some other OS installed in it's place.....I would rather keep Suse, but I cant get it to see my wirless card (Realtek Semiconductor RT8101e PCI) anyone waht to hold an ole coots hand through tis???

does the wireless card get recognised? i.e. is it listed in yast>network?network cards? if so, does it detect networks and you can't connect, or does it simply not connect?
