Hi!

Driverloader is installed and the modules looks good on my SuSE 9.0 Centrino 
laptop. (ACER 661Lci)
iwlist scan shows:

linux:~ # iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:04:75:63:C5:C3
                    ESSID:"TWSAP"
                    Mode:Managed
                    Frequency:2.412GHz
                    Quality:1/1  Signal level:-35 dBm  Noise level:-200 dBm
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rate:1Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:2Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:5.5Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:11Mb/s

But when I try to do :
linux:~ # iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Key substitued)
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

linux:/tmp # dldrconfig --info

        MAC address    : 00:04:23:73:82:7E

So I can not set the key, and since I can not set the key I can not get the 
network working.

Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong?

regards birger....
