I went under SuSE 8.1 and removed the eth0 for the e100 and recreated it for the wifi using the compaq and I got access!!. I am surfing the web using it right now. I keep losing the access point mac getting some unknown mac. I moved the WAP away from the switchbox and it has stayed with the right mac for the WAP so far. I have not rebooted RH8 to test it. Just happy to be able to finally have wireless under SuSE 8.1!!
