Hi,

I'm a linux newbie. I recently installed SuSE 8.1 Personnal edition on my Toshiba Satelite Pro 6100 laptop.

The problem I am having is configuring my wireless network card. I got everything to work, but I have to reconfigure everything everytime I reboot. To get the wireless card to work at all, I have to run YaST/NetworkBasic/Network Card Configuration and set the Operating Mode in the Wireless settings to "Automatic". This allows me to ping the wireless router (I was not able to ping the router before making this configuration change).

Then, in order to be able to ping outside of my network I need to execute: route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth1 .

The problem is that I need to do both of these steps every time I reboot. What can I do to make this configuration persistent?

I've tried looking for a /etc/route.conf file, but it does not seem to be there.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

To get my laptop to work with the wireless card, rather than reconfigure with YaST everytime, I do the following: open a terminal, type "su", then "mypassword", then "rcnetwork restart" Your gateway problem I have not experienced. Do you have that gateway entered in YaST/NetworkBasic/Network Card Configuration/Routing/Default Gateway? -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?
