hello,
i have browsed through the forum but did not find an answer for my issue.
i have just installed opensuse 11.1 and after a few evenings of trying i managed to get wireless card to work after taking of the WEP security from my wireless router.
however as soon as i activate the security the network does not work anymore. the strange thing is that the linux machine receives an ip adress in the network, however when i ping the router under 192.168.1.1 i get the message destination host unreachable.
i hope there is somebody here who can help me.
thanks in advance
cheers

here is what i receive when entering the commands from the sticky topic:
