With so many informations is kind-of difficult to say. I'd go out on
a limb here and say that you've a bug in the wireless driver, and maybe
you should try update it or get the sources and compile it yourself.

According to the manufacturer's website, the wifi card in that model is an Intel ipw2200. Since
Linux kernel 2.6.13, which is the version used by SuSE 10.0, there have been many changes in the
wireless subsystem and the ipw2200 driver. At a minimum, you should get and build the ipw2200
driver, as suggested by Davide. If your skills are up to it, you might try downloading and building
the latest stable kernel (2.6.16.14 when this was written).
