    Thank you both for your help. I already have been able to put my wireless
    card to work. What I've done was to clean my resolv.conf file and out my
    wireless card to get ip by dhcp and everything started to work, strange
    because when I had suse 9.0 I was not able to put it working with dhcp but
    always with static ip.

    Cumprimentos

    Your /etc/sysysconfiig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia file must contain the
    following lines:

    BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
    DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes'
    MTU=''
    REMOTE_IPADDR=''
    STARTMODE='hotplug'
    DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF='yes'
    DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes'
    UNIQUE=''
    WIRELESS_ESSID='yourESSID'
    WIRELESS_KEY='yourKey'
    WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
    WIRELESS_NICK=''
    WIRELESS_NWID=''

    The two lines with DHCLIENT are particularly important. If you can find
    where this is documented, please let me know.

    Good luck,

    Hola,

    Your wireless may not be getting the default route. Do:

    #ifstatus wlan0

    And make sure the GATEWAY= has your router's IP.
