Can't connect if wired & wireless both installed
 

I'm havening a weird problem. I'm using SuSE 10.0 on a Sager notebook with w built in Realtek NIC and an Intersil/Prism wireless.

If both the wired and wireless interfaces are enabled and configured I can access local addresses on my LAN, but I cannot connect to the Internet.

If I go into Yast and delete the wireless (so it is listed as "not configured") I can then connect to both the LAN and the Internet.

Here is a snip it from the startup log with both interfaces enabled:

I noticed that either way the wired card is assigned the same IP address by the router, but I can connect only with the wireless card disabled.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

are both devices going to the same router? if so, you're going to run into some routing issues.

Same Problem
 

I have an Acer 291LMI, and i'm facing the same problem. Hope someone can help us. Thanks in advance

you can't have your default gateway going through two devices. try this:How many results come up? If there is more than one and they have different Ifaces, that's gonna be a problem.

Also, chances are your wireless card isn't going to be recognized by YaST. You're just gonna have to get your hands dirty and use either a native driver or ndiswrapper to set it up. Search the web for what you need to do for that specific card.
