Give use the spec off chip set of the wireless.
Did the home/partition exist or not ?
Is it created during install ?

for home partition problem
even i crate it separate or make home and root one partition i can log in as user for first time and do what i want
when restarting system i found a message tell me that system can't access home partiton and only root can access but as root i can browse home folder
i tried to change permission to this folder as 777 but same error
when i log on i found message tell me same error and it talks about server couldn't start


as for my wlan pci
my laptop is dell inspiron 1501 and my wlan is broadcom but i can't remeber the model

Broadcom is not the chip set so we still in the dark
Searching the net I found that only for 802.11 B/G family wireless chips are open source drivers

As far as home if you use yast>system>partitioner than it should show home as LInux native under mount
/home
I know when you start partitioner it come with a warning
If the mount point is not home you can change it here by editing the home line
