Wireless with Suse 9.0


I am currently running Suse 9.0 and I am trying to get it to work. I look in YaST and under Network card I have two categories. One is 3c9005C-TX/TX-M[Tornadoo] and WPC54G. That is the model of my wireless card. I have a program called KWiFiManager. With this I can say that I think the card is setup so I guess my questions is what can I do next. I have no internet caonnection.

Ok I am new to Suse and I am running 9.0. I am trying to get my WPC54G wireless card working. Under Hardware in YaST it has under network card WPC54G. Under network devices this is what I have configured for my network cards:

-> Ethernet Network Card
Configured as eth0 with DHCP
-> Dell 3c905C-TX/TX-M[Tornado]
Configured as eth1 with DHCP
-> PCMCIA Wireless Network Card
Configured as wlan-pcmcia with DHCP

On the card the light is on power but link is totally off.

as root if I type /etc/init.d/network restart I get:

Shutting down network interfaces:
wlan-pcmcia skipped
eth0 done
eth1 skipped
Setting up network interfaces:
lo done
etho (DHCP)......................no IP address yet... backgrounding.
eth1 failed
wlan-pcmcia hotplug

I am not sure if am missing something. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
