i have a belkin FSD7000 Wireless card and i have xp pro.. i just installed SuSe Linux 9.1 personal.. the suseplugger detects the card.. but it wont connect to the internet.. im a newb to Linux.. so just wondering what i need to do to enable it and stuff.. during the installation it only detected the regular NIC card.. and i had to create a "wireless card configured with DHCP enabled". Suseplugger sees that the brand is Belkin and that its 802.11g... i dunno what to do.. thanks guys
appreciate it

I've set up a Belkin FSD6050 in SuSE 9.1 before, but I don't remember how anymore. If I remember correctly, there's some sort of patch that should make it work right.

And it WAS NOT the Atmel Linux WLAN driver.

Im not sure what the GUI way of doing things in Suse is, im sure YAST is probably involved, but you should be able to use the wireless tools with the command line and set it up as long as the card is recognized, sounds like it is.

those will help get you pointed in the right direction,basically the wireless tools are modified versions of the ethernet tools like ifconfig,same idea, different tools and options for wireless issues like security and encryption

it sounds like the proper kernel module is being loaded. if you are not really feeling up to learning the iwconfig syntax, there is a GUI tool called kwifimanager. you will need to run it as root to set it up. i would suggest not bothering to log on seperately instead:
as your user, while in x (at an xterm or a run prompt):

xhost 127.0.0.1

then, in an xterm, possibly the same one as before:

su -
<your root password>
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
kwifimanager 2> /tmp/err.log &
