I am in the process of attempting to get a NetGear WG311T to work on a SuSE 10.0 x86_64 installation. I've read the posts that indicate if I install thekernel-nonGPL package, the card works out of the box. But this wasn't my experience. I never could get it to work using the products delivered through Yast. So, I downloaded the MadWifi driver and went through the First Time User HOWTO and everything seemed to go well. However, when I attempt to contact another IP with a ping, I get the following back: compaq:/usr/local/madwifi-ng # ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

I have no idea of what 192.168.1.100 addresses. Attempting to ping an address such as bbc.co.uk fails as it can't get to a DNS server to resolve the address. Here is some info about the madwifi-ng installation: compaq:/usr/local/madwifi-ng # iwlist ath0 scan ath0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:16:B6:19:A0:D3 ESSID:"HomeNetwork" Mode:Master Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=43/94 Signal level=-52 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Bit Rate:5.5 Mb/s Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Bit Rate:18 Mb/s Bit Rate:24 Mb/s Bit Rate:36 Mb/s Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Bit Rate:6 Mb/s Bit Rate:9 Mb/s Bit Rate:12 Mb/s Bit Rate:48 Mb/s Extra:bcn_int=100 compaq:/usr/local/madwifi-ng # wlanconfig ath0 list scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS HomeNetwork 00:16:b6:19:a0:d3 6 54M 42:0 100 EPSs I also searched the resources recommended in the MadWifi Wiki, but nothing jumped out at me as addressing my problem. I feel like I must be close, but I don't know where to go from here. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. ---- Bill Lugg ΙΧΘΥΣ Software Engineer, Milstar AF Command Post Terminal Support OO-ALC/MASFE, Peterson AFB, CO William.Lugg@cisf.af.mil
