Re: [SLE] wireless card does not get DHCP IP
When I run XP, there is not problem with the router & wireless card. Also, when I use eth0 connection (in linux) there is no problem. If the wireless connection works in XP, then it should work in linux too ! unless there are some configuration problems. I think there is nothing wrong on the router side. The wireless card detects that there is a network present. But for some reason if I do a ping to the router, it says network is unreachable !...wonder why ?

I have put the IP address of my router in resolv.conf. But still no luck. I forgot to mention that I cannot ping the IP of my router. Does that mean anything ?
So you haven't contact to your router? Than you can't get an IP-adress. Is your W-LAN running correct, have you got connection to it? Test it with "wavemon": you would see, if you have a connection.

That's exactly, what I meaned! When there is a net from your router, your card under linux mustn't be set correct, or you have a connection to your net, but you are using a wrong encryption. First if both things are working well, you would find your router by pinging or get access! So, try wavemon and you'll see, if your card find the net. Then you'll know, where to search for the problem... Andreas

How do you want to ping your router/dhcp_server if you
don't have IP address assigned/leased to your PC. Ping
is icmp and uses IP as network protocol.
