Summary: DWL-650+ shines on Inspirion 3800 but no network on SuSE 9

Initial Comment:
I am running SuSE 9 on a Dell Inspirion 3800 and I have a 
DWL 650+ card for wirless and a Xircom card for Ethernet. Of 
course I trade cards when going from wired to wireless.... 
 
I followed all the installation instructions and have even got the 
light on the D-LINK card shining. So far so good. I type in 
#iwconfig and am rewarded with the following info: 
 
lo        no wireless extensions. 
 
sit0      no wireless extensions. 
 
wlan0     v0.2.0pre5  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Channel:10  Access Point:

frag:0 
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed

I go into Yast2 and configure a pcmcia wireless network... and 
even so no network. Problem is, being a novice, I don't really 
know where my problem lies. Is it with the drivers? Is it with 
the configuration? Is it with SuSE 9?  
 
Could someone please give me a friendly shove in the right 
direction? 
 
Thanx!
