Hi TG,
When I put my AP in "Open" mode, I can connect no problem, the Wep is
giving me problems...

Seem that Suse has the configuration laid out differently, did put wep
related config in /etc/wlan/wlan.conf but that had no effect.  My feeling
is that Wep related config must be put in
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia but I am not sure of the syntax.

I'll keep digging...

Thanks for your help,

Francois
