connecting wireless

[renegade600]

decided to install suse 10.1 linux on my laptop but for some reason it will not connect to my wireless network. I can see my securerd network in knetworkmanager but when I try to activate, it will not. The firewall is turned off. My neighbor has an unsecured network and when I tried theirs there was no access there either so its not the wep.

one thing I did notice is I have trend micros internet security installed on a couple of pcs so I should be getting a popup about an unauthorized access to the wireless network - I am not. When I check their wifi intrustion it does not see the laptop.

I have dsl a 2wire wireless modem/router 1701hg gateway.

Last time I installed wireless linux it was with cable internet and suse linu 9.3. Is there some difference in the way dsl is installed?

any thoughts?

On the linux laptop, open up a terminal, become root (su) and run 'iwconfig', then post the interfaces listed as well as their wireless extension details.

looks like I solved the problem. It was the wrong driver. I was messing around with xandros linux and decided to try another driver and it work. I hate it when hp put two drivers in one file. Oh well, I will mess around with xandros for a day or two before going back to suse.
