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.

I am completely unfamiliar with NetworkManager, but can see no way of
persuading it to connect fully with the wireless card.

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).
