Question No wireless Dell D520 / SUSE 10.2


Hey all, new here and all that, first posting.

I have a Dell Lattitude D520 which I installed SUSE 10.2 onto. Can't get the wireless to work, everything I tried through the network manager showed that the card was "not connected". Any pointers?

What type of wireless card is it? Do you have the card properly detected? What type of connection are you trying to use? (WPA, WEP, unsecured)

It seems to be a >> [00000010] Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
At least that's what Windows System information tells me. I don't think this card is being detected, how can I tell? Connection is WEP.
