[ale] No Wirless on Suse

[James Taylor]

The intel driver should work out of the box on the intel chip.
I would recommend that you install 10.2 rather than 10.1.  It has huge improvements for wireless support and every day usage.
Are you running the 64 bit kernel?  10.1 still had issues with some 64 bit kernel drivers. 10.2 has completely resolved mine.
