[driverloader] Intel pro 2001 wireless

[kamran iranpour]

Hi

I am a novice in linux. just got my first linux
machine with suse 9. I have a wireless network card in
that in addition to an ethernet card. I have been
trying to configure the wireless card but to no avail
so far. Wondering if someone could help me through. I
acquired a temporary license from linuxant and
driveloader v. 1.57.
Please keep in mind that I am not very much familiar
with the technicalities of wireless network cards.
Just
a fresh linux user. Much of what I have seen discussed
on this subject here is much too much over my head.
Thanks for your understanding.
I can see access point wlan0 but otherwise I can not
connect to the network. Here is the output of
iwconfig:
-------------------
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

dldrconfig --info results in the following:

-----------------

and I ran dldrconfig with dumpdiag but it is to
huge to send it here. I don't get much info from
it since I don't know what it all means.

Using the ifup wlan0, I get:
DHCP client is already running on wlan0


ifstatus wlan0 gives:
-----------------
dhcpcd running
wlan0 not up
