Is the card detected? If it is, then startYaST then go to network namager. Select the card from the list, configure it from there.

You have to give the encryption password and type (if any) and the internal IP address if you are using one. Then click on the panel icon of the network and enable wireless networking...

see if it helps.

Thanks for replying..

Card is detected..
I have tried to configure the card via yast but didnt help.. I didnt set internal ip but i wll try it..
main prob is knetworkmanager has tabs disabled..
Also my card is working as i can see the connection available using iwlist command..

Doesn't look too good

Anyway, try, you have to enable network manager in yast when you open the card to configure (there is a checkbox to be ticked in the first screen).
