SuSE wireless network problem
 

Hi All,
I am able to establish wireless network and all.
I have IP from my AP.
I am able to ping the other comuters in my network.

But I do not have an internet!

How to make this linux to get the interface and use it - and where is the option for that in SuSE.

On the other machines I have Fedora and no problems.

And one more thing,

how can I instert module and start it at boot on SuSE (this is my usb wireless card driver)?

Thx

Nikolayds,
Do you only have one machine using this AP? What exactly do you mean you don't have an internet, can't surf the web? For you second question, YaST will allow you to set up your USB wireless card. Network Devices->Network Card will attempt to detect the card
(assuming its turned on), and allow you to configure it.

Thx,

I do have 2 other computers connected to the same AP and to the internet via comsat.

The problem is with the one with SuSE 9.1

I am able to connect to internet but I need to make some annoying things like
route add default gw <my AP address - it is windows machine>.

the problem is, it is works only for root,
once I switch the users it is ugly.

My question is how to make the trafic to go through that gateway automathically.
/like in Fedora I do no need to do anything/

My second question is where I can put my users script to be execute at the start up (actually the above line).

For the first part, did you check in YaST to make sure that Linux is running the card in Managed mode?

For the second part, is this script a special ifup script for your card? Otherwise if your card is connected and on, SuSE should run its ifup script to activate your card. Since your card is USB, to have it recognized at start up, I guess you'd have to have hotplug (or is it coldplug?) services activated as well.

It is activated (card working properly).

The script actually make a
route via that gateway - otherwise I do no have an internet (the SuSE do not make automatic route throu WLAN0 /my wireless interface/)

I just do not know why - and how to fixed it.

Try this thread. It seems to present a solution to your problem (although not a very graceful one). I found the two unique settings mentioned in this thread to be listed in a file called /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp on my laptop.

If that doesn't work, you can add your gateway script to ~/.profile, which will run it once upon login.

Thx,
I´ll try that. Seems reasonable.

YES
It is working!

Thx

P.S. at least to simular post here last couple of days - obviously ugly problem.
