Does your access point offer a DHCP server? If so, you could try to set up the wireless interface in YaST.
On the bottom of the interface setup screen, you may need to enter your host name in the Advanced -> DHCP Client Options dialog. Check the [X] Request Broad
cast Response box and enter your host name under "DHCP Client
Identifier. I'm not certain this is absolutely necessary, by my wireless didn't work before doing this.
If you want, you could try to manually assign an IP address to the wireless interface with the ifconfig command.
Also, if your host has a NIC card, make sure it is down with the "rcnetwork stop eth0" command. Running "ifdown eth0" will do the same thing. If both interfaces are on the same subnet, your wireless interface will not work.
Shutting down eth0 ( I'm assuming that is the name ) will fix things.
Quote:
I don't know of any CLI programs to configure the card or where the .conf files are

The network configuration files are in /etc/sysconfig/network/
The configuration for a particular interface will look like: ifcfg-ra0, however, the last part could be a hardware based name.
