Upgrade to SuSe 10.1. It is one of the best Linux distros available, IMHO. It has excellent hardware support, including wireless networking.

What i've heard of SuSE 10.1 from this site does not support that assessment. It appears as if there is a major difficulty with that particular release. SuSE 10.0 seems to work much better.

All of my hardware works well with little to no configuration required. My friend had problems with his broadcom wireless on his laptop with 10.0, but with 10.1 it worked right away. I also downloaded and installed the newest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website. It was the easiest compile and install from a shell I have ever accomplished.
