I'm using OpenSuse 11.4 and I'm trying to connect wirelessly to a BT Hub 3.0, I've tried this in Debian Squeeze (the computer is currently dual boot, though Debian may go)
I can connect through the wired interface (eth0) but not wirelessly (wlan0)
ifconfig does show that wlan0 is working and connected, traffic seems to be going into and out of the interface, but I can't access the web through it
Code:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1F:1F:E0:35:25
inet addr:192.168.1.65 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

iwconfig does show that wlan0 is connected to the correct to the correct hub (set up through Yast2)

I've read
this page and created rules that I think match my setup, but nothing changes, no net access through wireless

Notice there's no entry at all for wlan0
Would the fact that there is only one gateway (192.168.1.254) and that both interfaces get IP addresses in the same range be a problem? Have I busted my setup even more? I'd like to be able to take my PC to another and still have internet access without having to install cables everywhere.
