10.1 wireless problem
I have a DLink DWL650 wireless card which has worked (and still does) under other distros for 2 years. In a cleanly installed opensuse 10.1, I have added the packman madwifi-kmp package. The card is recognized by the hardware probe since it shows up when I attempt to configure internet access through it. Moreover, KNetwork Manager shows several wireless access points, so it appears that the card is detecting the broadcast signals from several different 11b and 11g transmitters in the area. The problem is that nothing I have tried yet allows me to use the connection. ifconfig shows the card under wlan0 (witht the correct MAC hardware address), but doesn't report an ip address. I also can't ping my router. dhcpcd wlan0 doesn't seem to do anything for the wireless card, but it causes my wired (eth0) connection to loose it's ip address. I've turned off my firewall and there's no encryption on the wireless side so I'm stumped. Any suggestions? TIA Paul
