How cames this ^^^^
There should be a 'dhcp'!

> MTU=''
> REMOTE_IPADDR=''
> STARTMODE='onboot'
> DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF='yes'
> DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes'
> DHCLIENT_PRIMARY_DEVICE='yes'

> WIRELESS_ESSID='OhrockNet'
> WIRELESS_KEY=''
> WIRELESS_MODE='Ad-hoc'
> WIRELESS_NICK=''
> WIRELESS_NWID=''

The rest seems ok.

The free SuSE - Support isn't covering much issues. The most help
you will get on lists or in the newsgroups.
