All,
   Wireless statistics don't seem to be working properly.
Specifically, the output of iwspy is:

lo        Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection
 
eth0      Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection
 
eth1      No statistics to collect
 
sit0      Interface doesn't support wireless statistic collection
 
However, the output of iwconfig is:

lo        no wireless extensions.
 
eth0      no wireless extensions.
 
eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"XXXXXXXX"  Nickname:"XXXXXX"

I originally posted this in the SuSE forum. Margit has
some ideas on why this is not working.

Thanks,
