Hi,

in the last "dumpdiag" that you sent, we still don't see your AP when you
run "iwlist scan".

What kind of AP is it? Did you try resetting it to it's default
configuration?

Can you try with another AP?

Make sure you don't need a special software under Windows to enable your
antenna. Sometimes there is also an option in the computer's BIOS.

I try and try and try, cant seem to get it working on Linux.

My Dell Inspiron 8200 came with a Dell TrueMobil Wireless card built in.
It works 100% while in Windows, but cant get it to fully work here in
linux..

I have tried 3 different windows drivers. It looks like the system sees
the card, but it cant DHCP an address or officially see the access
point.  the SuSE KWiFiManager sees a Full signal, but I cant seem to get
it to work..

what can I do to figure out where the fault is?
