Configure a Wifi PCMCIA card with Kwifimanager, Yast2 in SuSe 9.0
Dear all, This is a real tough one: I've got a fully functional laptop running SuSe 9.0. It has a perfect connection to the internet, using a cat5 cable, connected to a router. However, when using the PCMCIA-card, I can get to the router and elsewhere on the LAN, but not through the router to the internet. See scheme at http://home.wanadoo.nl/jcm.rasch/config-wifi.html . Is the anybody out there who can figure this out and get me going? Thanks, Hans Rasch The Netherlands

Perhaps the default route is still wrongly. Check with "netstat -rn" or "route -n", which should produce something like this: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.16.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.111 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 where eth0 is your PCMCIA card, NOT the onboard LAN. -- Eckhard Rüggeberg E.Rueggeberg@t-online.de "One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Redmond, where the Shadows lie."

I did. The first line shows, the second doesn't.: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 It seems the default route isn't there. How can this be fixed?

I don't know the Kwifimanager. Is it the Yast2 Module for network cards? It SHOULD enter the default route in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes! If not, enter a line like default 192.168.16.111 - - there and restart the network with "rcnetwork restart" (as root!) or by ejecting and reeentering the WLan card... -- Eckhard Rüggeberg E.Rueggeberg@t-online.de "One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Redmond, where the Shadows lie."
When you have multple network cards, you'll have to add DHCLIENT_PRIMARY_DEVICE='yes' to the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia (or whatever your configuration file for your wlan card is called) in order to have the default route set. /Lennart onsdagen den 17 mars 2004 14.22 skrev Eckhard Rüggeberg:

It works perfectly now. I did: route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0 Thanks a lot! Hans Lennart Börjeson wrote:
