Default Problem with Cisco wireless card under Suse Linux 10.1

Hello,

Could anyone please help me out in the following problem?

Hardware:

* IBM laptop Thinkpad T30 Type 2366-B1U S/N 78-HFTB9 08/02

* Cisco PCMCIA card Aironet 340 11 Mbps 2.4GHz DS


System software:

* dual boot machine Windows XP and Linux

* Suse Linux 10.1, 'uname -rv' says '2.6.16.21-0.25-default #1 Tue Sep
19 07:26:15 UTC 2006', all patches duly downloaded and installed;
using KDE

* infos from YaST/Network Devices/Cisco 340 Series Wireless LAN Adapter:
Hardware Details:
Hardware Configuration Name: bus-pcmcia-0.0
Module Name: airo_cs
(that is what it came up with at the installation of Suse)


Symptoms:

* under Suse Linux, I cannot get wireless connection to local WLAN;
KWiFiManager shows excelent signal strength, KNetworkManager shows
that the little blue progress bar for the connection process stops at
about 2/3 of full length, SSID of local WLAN is recognized in both
cases

* under Windows XP wireless connection looks okay


What can I do to make the wireless card work under Suse Linux?

In you reply, please be specific as I am not a Linux expert at all.

Thank you for your time and help,

Starl8gazer
