[driverloader] Problem getting the WLAN working on an ACER 661LCi, WLAN deteced but kant set key.

[Birger Kollstrand]

Hi,

I checked for SuSE updates after seeing a comment by Fritz Ganter and there 
was a new fix related to WiFi. I innstalled that one, reinnstalled the driver 
package and configured the wlan0 interface.

And now it works! Thanks for great comments! Now I have another great obstacle 
and that is to get VPN vorking towards our firewall....

regards birger....
