need help setting up WIFI in KDE 4.

i have Opensuse, and it's really interesting looking. But unlike every other linux Distro, it doesnt let me search for WIFI signals as soon as i installed it. Im not sure if it doesnt recognize my WIFI card, or if it can't find any signals. I never needed so setup my card with other Linux's though. I was wondering how I can tell if it can read my card, if if it can't find any signals, or if i need drivers. i have the cd it came with, that came with drivers for windows(its a linksys card) at the bottom, there is a globe, and it asks if i want to do a new connection. i can disable the wifi and enable it, but whenever i choose to start a new WLAN connection, it doesnt display anything, even it I have it on refresh automaticly. and i tried to manualy put it into it, but my wep code is 64 hexidecimal, not 40 or 128 hexidecimal. i read that i should try this "NdisWrapper" but when i search for it, it won't find anything.

Hi,

you should check, if your device is setup properly. This is properly not a kde issue.

First you may check which device you have. Please post the output of

lspci

Best regards
