I've got 2 sparkLAN 802.11b Wireless Lan devices, I have installed the
drivers, reconfigured the kernel and the devices on each machine are
communicating fine but I cannot ping the other machine no matter which I
am on, (not limited to pinging, I can't do anything) I have set the IP's
in YaST to 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively for each machine, I
don't believe there to be a problem with the ESSID or NWID as that is
specified separately through a config tool supplied with the drivers.
Anyone who can offer an insight into the problem, I'd appreciate your
advice.

Is the routing on your machines OK ? What does the output of the route command look like ? -- Jan Elders Nuenen

Now that I've thought to look at it (thanks for that) there's absolutely
no listing for the interface (eth0) the only one listed is ppp0 (my
connection to the net)

Does ifconfig -a list anything ? What was the config tool used? You shouldn't need to use a seperate tool to config the card. YAST should be able to do it or you. What is the exact model of the cards? Some wifi cards don't have any Linux drivers, some propriety binary only ones. The well supported cards are based on the hermes chipset and the prism chipset. these use an orinoco driver. does lsmod | grep orinoco show anything ? AED -- "Ideas improve.

Is your YaST configuration fully completed and correct ? (I would assume that a route statement should be added automatically by YaST, but I don't know for sure). A bypass could be to add it yourself with <route add etc....>
Also check ifstatus eth0 Does everything look all right ? Amongst others, you should see the MAC address of the other side of the wireless link, listed behind the notion Access Point : Greetings, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands
