Help!

From your output, it looks as if you are using “ifup” method.
My experience with 11.3, was that dhcpcd and wireless did not go together. Once I switched to using “dhclient” for the dhcp, it began to work properly. I suggest you give that a try.
The easiest way to change: Use Yast
System → /etc/sysconfig → network → dhcp
Look for the setting for DHCLIENT_BIN
Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried it and had the same situation.

I’m wondering if it could be a problem at your router or access point.
Make sure that your router or AP is not doing MAC address filtering.
seems that opensuse 12.1, desktop LXDE works for me!!!
it was horrible to me, because i’m COMPLETELY new in linux.
as i think i’m not computer iliterate, i think that’s stupid: it’s the same operating system, it should work no matter which desktop i use. but, that’s so. now i have computer
graphic is bad, but with internet it will be easier 
btw, it’s lenovo ideapad z570
3 days after buying, i realised that i should have bought z575, since it is AMD (this one is Intel)
ok, maybe i helped a little
bye
