Hi everyone, I am trying to get Netgear card to work and have been making some progress (thanks to those who replied). Now the link lights are flashing and I can ping the card but I don't seem to be able to ping anything outside. Since I can't use Yast it probably has something to do with the way it is configured in relation to the router. Does someone have use the Netgear MR814 and tell me how they configured their card to work with it here is what i get wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:21:AC:05 inet addr:192.168.0.4 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::209:5bff:fe21:ac05/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x4800 can someone tell me if this is right or if something doesn't look right here! thanks a lot, james. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
