    This is on a laptop. How wireless interfaces work on non-portable computers is,
    I think, a different matter altogether.

     I installed SUSE 10 while disconnected from my LAN and all was well. Wireless
    cam up on boot, I got IP address etc, updated resolve.conf and set routes and
    life was good as far as those things go.

    I then reinstalled, while attached to LAN by wire and air, and now I can get an
    IP address, but the other things don't happen.

    I've used find and grep and vim till I'm blue in the face and I don't see what
    to change. Yast doesn't give me any options that I can find, and I can't find
    any likely references to resolv.conf or the various interfaces I've used.

    Please tell me, what do I change?

    The most desired behaviour is this:
            If wire is plugged in, it's configured with IP address etc, routes are
            set up and resolv.conf is reconfigured.
    If wireless is plugged in, it's configured
            with IP address etc, local routes are set up.
            If wire is not plugged in, then all routes are set up and resolv.conf
            is reconfigured.

    If two (or more) wireless devices work, the fastest is configured with default
            routes and resolv.conf is reconfigured, if there is no wire.

    Just for the moment, I will settle for wireless working as my primary interface (as it is).
