SuSe 10.0 can't associate

Suse 10.0 can't associate with my AP., 9.3 and my gentoo and windows boxen have no trouble. iwlist sees the ap perfectly, iwconfig gets everything correct except for the MAC Address and it wont let set it manually! Both of my Suse 10 boxen do this. They won't let me set _ANYTHING_ manually via iwconfig or connect to the ap.

Thanks in advance.

I assume by AP. you mean a WiFi wireless access point. With some google'ing you will find that some WiFi chips are directly supported, some require an MOU update and the others require the use of ndiswrapper for the Windows DLL drivers that shipped with your board. Provide more detail, like what brand of WiFi card and someone may be able to help you. My personal experience is with an external Ethernet connected WiFi router.
