I am running Suse 11.1 and it detects my wireles card. I do have a an issue with signal strenght, but I am trying to verify my settings so I can use it. For encryiton key do I enter the value displayed in the output of iwconfig?
I did notice the morning the ecrytion on the output was different from last nights output
Here is the output from several commands
