[opensuse] Problem with wireless connection with DHCP on OpenSuSE 11.0

I have a fresh installation of OpenSuSE 11.0 on a laptop. I am almost a SuSE
newbie and am flummoxed.
The laptop has two network cards: an ethernet card and a wireless card. If
the ethernet card is plugged in at boot it works fine on DHCP and can connect
to the internet.
If the wireless card is the only interface plugged in at boot, it is
connecting to the router and being assigned an IP. It can then ping the
router and the router can ping it. It cannot however connect to the
internet. This does not appear to be a DNS problem, since it cannot reach
the internet by IP either.
I am completely unfamiliar with NetworkManager, but can see no way of
persuading it to connect fully with the wireless card.
The Ethernet connection sometimes hotplugs and sometimes doesn't.
It is the wireless connection that is crucial. It must connect via DHCP to a
school system with a known SSID, but unknown gateway and DNS server(s).
TIA
