After some angst I've managed to get my wireless card working, sort of, with my laptop. (The key to the kingdom is ndiswrapper.) However, it seems to have only one-way transmission to the Net. If I ping my router, I get the normal echo response. But if I ping anything in the outside world (like yahoo.com), the message goes out (the nameservers even find the right IP address) but nothing -- nothing -- ever comes back. Similarly, I can't look at any web pages on the Net. (This is with SuSE 10.0.)
Standard reply of what does the output of the following show, when run as root? ifconfig route -n
Thanks, Stan -- that let me find the problem. I'm using DHCP and had the wrong gateway address. I had forgotten that choosing DHCP doesn't set the gateway. Works fine now. Paul
