Welcome to the forums!

I don't run any wireless internet at all so can't really help with it, but the best place to start troubleshooting is here:

do as root

dmesg | grep wlan0

and see if it finds the network card.

You don't mention if it's not finding any WAP's or just not getting out to the internet or anything. Need a little more information. Live CD's are set up a little bit different sometimes than a regular install, so you may have to go into YaST and go under network devices and make sure it's set to start at boot and that it's set to DHCP.

It's finding my access point ok but still not reaching the Internet.

Well then it's getting an IP address. so that tells me for some reason it's not getting nameserver. In windows go to a command line and do

ipconfig /all

then put those namesevers in /etc/resolv.conf like

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

then try connecting, if that doesn't work as root do:

service network restart

or

sudo /sbin/service network restart
