suse linux 6.4-8.1

i need some help from somone familiar with suse linux. i am wanting to update my suse linux 6.4 box to suse linux 8.1. i am trying to do it with yast. and i want to do it via ftp. now, to do this the first thing i need to do is change my source media settings in yast, right now it is the cdrom. when i try to change it to ftp it goes fine, and its the right server and directory. yast does a check to login and that the directory has the correct files, and everything goes fine. so when i select OK to change my installation source, it logs in to the ftp server and gives me this error:
550 failed to open file.
File not found on server.
Abort

then disconnects. so obviously theres a file that yast is looking for but does not exist. is my 6.4 just too old to update from yast to 8.1? ive looked on the suse website and all the links i can find for updating the system is from 7.0 and on. so if anyone can help itll be very apprieciated. thanks!

ifcfg-wireless

IFCFG(5)						       Network configuration							  IFCFG(5)

NAME

       ifcfg-wireless - wireless LAN network interface configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-*
       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-type-wlan

GENERAL

       Wireless  networks  need  some additional configuration data compared to ethernet ones. Therefore additional variables for ifcfg files were
       introduced.  All wireless LAN specific variables are described in the ifcfg template file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. It is pos-
       sible to configure more than one wireless network accepted for association. To achieve this add suffix _1 to all wireless variables for the
       second network, _2 for the this, and so on. Example: WIRELESS_ESSID_1="second_net" You can have up to  ten  wireless  networks  configured.
       Some  wireless  variables  are not applicable to a single wireless network but are global to the interface. The description of the variable
       points this out.
