Hello, I just purchased a Belkin Wireless G desktop card.

I downloaded the necessary madwifi and madwifi kernel module for suse
10.1 from the madwifi.org web site.

I installed them, configured with yast2->network devices->network cards

I chose a static address 192.168.0.50/255.255.255.0 the nameserver and
host name is set to 192.168.0.20 primary 192.168.0.70 secondary
hostname linux domain local.net
default gateway to 192.168.0.1

I set the encryption to 128 bit wep and supplied my key.

I told it to use traditional method with ifup.

output of ifconfig shows the interface ath0 up with the correct
address/netmask and connected to the correct ap.

output of iwlist scanning returns my ap

output of route -n
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 ath0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ath0

this looks just like my wired connections and one other wireless
connection based on the broadcom chipset.

Problem, every time I try to ping a local machine it tells me that the
destination host unreachable.

Any ideas would be appreciated, as I need to get this machine
connected through the wireless so I can relocate it.

John
