I just installed Suse, and I'd like to know how to setup my wireless connection. I cant get online on my laptop, which is what I installed Suse on, I also have a Linksys router which runs my DSL from Roadrunner, and I dont know what to do or where to start from. I should add that I'm new to Linux & just got introduced to this. Has anyone got any suggestion...

Thanks
First google if anyone got the wireless device working.
And what they used for it(ndiswrapper, ...).
I use a linksys wirelss router: I can't tell the exact name of the network card now because I just installed Suse on it. I got it from dell and from their site it describes the network card as an (Intel® Pro/Wireless 3945 802.11 a/b/g Mini Card Wireless) Its actually a Dell Inspirion E1505 notebook. I didn't have any problem detecting the wireless network, in XP, so you can imagine my confusion...

First check if your kernel sees the device:
lspci | grep ireless
