[driverloader] Suse 8.2 and D-Link DWL 510 PCI card..

Sorry, I allways drop in the trap and answer directly to
questions instead of using the list...

On SuSE 9 only interfaces beginning with wlan* can changed with
yast (I mean the wlan parameters).
I would edit the ifcfg-eth2 directly.

If you can use yast, use it. If you can't set all parameters, go
directly to ifcfg-*.

Yes, instead of using yast and rcnetwork restart, you may use
iwconfig "parameters" for testing and finding the correct settings.
After all works, write the configuration to the SusE files above.
