scan good; no firefox

using older suse, my wifi won't get on internet, despite scan showing have access to sites.

Code:

service network status
   no config found for eth0
    eth1   Pro/Wireless 2200bg
            running, but still waiting for data
    eth2   Realtek semiconductor
            running, but still waiting for data
    lo     IP address:  127.0.0.1/8
            secondary lo IP address: 127.0.0.2/8
           checking service network   running
    eth3 is not available

ifup  eth1  Inter PRO/Wireless 2200bg  network connecter
         DHCP4  client is already running on eth1
ifup  eth2  Realtek RTL-8139etc
         DHCP4  client is already running on eth2

iwconfig  eth1  unassociated ESSID: "storage"
              Mode: managed etc
ip link show eth1
    3: eth1:  <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc  pfifo_fast
              state UNKNOWN  qlen 1000
              link/ether  00:16:65: etc
iw  eth1 link
     n180211  not found
iw eth1 scan
     n180211  not found

Have noticed that the listing of eth0, eth1,eth2, eth3, wlan0 have not been the same for given device when compare the command line output with what given on YAST netdevice listings

have put in usb wifi devices, and orinoco netcard to side insert; but nothing works; have tried to edit them, but not an option for these eth0, eth1, etc listings.

What's dmesg new output after removing and inserting eth1 WiFi module?

First must mention that two of the devices had a notice in Yast of "no hwinfo" despite going to yast hardware and having all updated and listed.
The dmesg had 775 lines. If need specific ones, possibly could give a general area; these are a few I thought might be relevant:
eth0 RealTek RTL8130
ACPI PCI interrupt Link enabled
ipw 2200 Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection this is listed as eth1 elsewhere
orinoco_cs 2.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin this is listed elsewhere as eth0
eth2 link down
eth1: no IPv6 routers present

I am looking for why your WiFi doesn't associate with AP.

what version of suse ?
the current firefox in a unsupported OS has many security issues

and the tarbal from mozilla might not run on a old version of suse
