Default Gateway and Wireless Card
Hi: Using SuSE 8.2 and CableFree PCMCIA card. I now have my wireless network working. I found I needed to set the deafault gateway by hand, which was not needed by the cabled network. The man page for route says I need to run the command "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" which is the IP address of my server and gateway. The problem is that I have to run this by hand everytime I turn on my notebook. Yast2 does not seem to offer an option to do this, and a google search did not turn out any relevant results. Could you please point me to doc I can read to set my default gateway on boot time? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole http://www.acyc.com http://www.clshonduras.com

I set mine in /etc/sysconfig/network/route. It does seem there should be an option in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia-0 so it will work when hot swapped. I think you could also edit /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless if you need it hot swapable. Greg Engel
