Michel, if I remember correctly, the wireless part of Centrino does not have a
native Linux driver. This forces you to use ndiswrapper (or the commercial
Linuxant one if you want to pay for it). Suse has a pre-compiled ndiswrapper
package which should work for you. This page has a good description of what
needs to be done:

I've been using ndiswrapper on two machines for well over a year now and have
only had minor problems with it on my laptop (it appears to be a Bios issue
and not an ndiswrapper issue).
Hope this helps
Mike

Hi,
I've recently installed suse10.0 on my centrino-laptop (acerTM660) and, as
I suppose linux is now well centrino-compliant, it should be possible to be
wireless-connected with;so I have a centrino chip from Intel which is
perfectly detected by the system, and apparently there are many ressources,
modules etc and also apparently a 'KWiFiManager' but I don't know how to
use it...
Does anybody know if there is possibility to launch a driverloader to
provide wireless connection?(Otherwise I can install Linuxant one's which
I'm already using with Mandrake but I prefer avoid this solution); I've
also asked Novell's support but they are not hurried to answer.... Thank
you in advance for any suggestion
