    It is SuSe 9.3, and it is set to DHCP. I set it to a staic address and
    it pick up the 192.168.1. whatever I set it to, but it did not ping
    anything.
    So I put it back to DHCP.

    I try these and the other things people have suggested and see. Sooner
    or later, one way or another I will get something working.

    It just takes time. It also hasn't really been a priority. I didn't
    really buy the laptop for internet access, just to download and work on
    photos. I only put linux on it to see if I could do manage to get it
    working on there.

    So, over time, I will manage to get the 802 card working. I just might
    post every once in a while my progress. Right now, I have managed to
    get the system to find the card. That is progress over it not finding
    the card.
