On SuSE 10.0, I experienced various problems with my Centrino Laptop and 802.11b routers. After a few googling I found a possible solution (in my case it was successful).
Login as root.
cd /etc/sysconfig/network/
Open with your favourite editor (you could use pico) the file ifcfg-wlan-id-[mac-address].
Add the line PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT='no'
Modify the line WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='shared' with WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='open'
A bit odd, but you should do that even if you configured your router to use shared authentication.
After rebooting, your connection to the router should work.
