As root try iwconfig and see if the card is seen by the OS. Then try ifconfig and see if the card was given an inet address. If you were not given an IP address you might check that you haven't firewalled yourself off as Mr. Wisse said or maybe that DHCP is configured wrong. Make sure that your card is in the right mode either ad-hoc or infrastructure mode your SSID is correct etc.

Dear All,
I have an EnGenius ultra Long Range Wireless Lan Pc Card EL-2511CD Plus that was working great on my Suse8 on my Compaq laptop. This card is in the pcmcia slot. Now that I have installed 8.2 no internet yet. Yast seemed to detect it well and Kwifimanager shows that it is connected and supposedly doing fine but I cannot reach the internet yet. I have gone through alot of the archives for this problem and some mentioned that a symlink was necessary for it to be recognized correctly. I have not done that yet since I was not sure if that would help in my case since kwifimanager knows it is there and is monitoring it just fine it seems.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Marcia
Thank you for your immediate response and help. I checked iwconfig and it recognizes my card as eth1 and it looks like everything should be working. I checked the firewall situation and it looks like it is not enabled . Any other thoughts here? Sincerely, Marcia
