    wireless access problem on SUSE

    SUSE has detected my wireless card and I can connect to the internet by an unmanaged network with no cryption, but once I transfer to a managed network, my machine cannot get an IP through DHCP though it has found the wireless network.

    I do not know what is wrong. Could u give me some guidance to solve it? My wireless card is Intel(R) PRO/wireless 2200BG network. Thank you very much.

    And also I have another question about the displayer. The screen size is 1048X768 (the highest one in SUSE) in SUSE, which is different in WIndows. So I think it should have something to do with the driver. So could u also give me some advice to change the size of the screen.

    I can't help you with wireless, I don't have any experience there... but I can help you with the resolution problem.

    As root run xorgconfig, and go through the options answering what your hardware is and what you can do and then give it a go. Back up /etc/X11/xorg.conf before you run it though. Then restart X windows by logging out of your current session and then hitting ctrl-alt-backspace and then logging in again.

    Wireless is totally my thing

    First make sure the Intel drivers are present, I think they are complete... or else you wouldn't be seeing the wireless networks... duh...

    You can open Yast > Network Devices > Network Card. Choose the User Controlled with Networkmanager option and click next

    Now you should see your wireless card (and others if you have them). Click on your card and choose edit. Configure your card with the correct options (I assume DHCP) and click next. Now you get to the point where you can enter wireless-network information. Fill in as needed and click on next... and again... next

    Now your NetworkManager will restart and it should be able to connect with the wireless network. This is a workaround for the option Connect to other wireless network but I have found that this workaround is a bit more secure (as in, makes sure it works the way you've set it).

    good luck...
