I'm a real Newbie to Suse and Linux in general, so any help would be great!

I'm having a hell of a time with mine. heres what I have....
AMD Sempron 2600+
RaLink RT2500 802.11g wireless (internal)
D-Link 624 Air-Extreme G router
Running Suse 9.3

It seems to see my SSID, but just won't connect. I did notice that my router is using "WPA" and that didn't seem to be an option in Linux...only "WEP" ..could this be the problem? My wired connection connected without any problems, but the wireless is really puzzling. I've changed them both to "WEP" and this seems to turn my LED wireless button on, but when I go to FireFox and try to get online..nothing. When I check to see the SSID its connected to, it is another one in my area and not mine, but it does show mine??? Its Like the wireless card is seeing access points(including mine) but it won't connect to mine!! E-mail me if you like. This is driving me crazy...any help would be great...Thanks Mike

what does the following command show you

Most likely, you would have to compile drivers for your particular card. I am not sure if SuSE provides them. Check your wifi card manufacturer's website. I believe RaLink have released the wifi drivers under GPL with full support.

Hope that helps

Tux,
