Hi all, This is a new SuSE 9.1 install on a dual-boot IBM Thinkpad T41. There's an Ethernet port and an Intel 2100 3B card. I'm trying to talk to a Netgear router, all of which works fine under the "other" OS. Under SuSE, the router sees the laptop (listing it as an attached device). The laptop even gets an IP from the router. But I can't ping anywhere from the laptop, not even the router itself. I set up the card through Yast, and downloaded the firmware through YOU. Everything looks fine: dmesg gives me this: ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.42 ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Detected ipw2100 PCI device at 0000:02:02.0, dev: eth1, mem: 0xC0210000-0xC0210FFF -> e2b17000, irq: 11 ipw2100: Associated with 'NETGEAR' at 11Mbps, channel 11 iwconfig gives this: eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"NETGEAR" Nickname:"linux" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:D7:A8:E2 Bit Rate=11Mb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry:on RTS thr=2304 B Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-28 dBm Noise level:-98 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:13 Missed beacon:0 ifconfig gives this: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:3F:64:2B inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:f1ff:fe3f:642b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:190 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:150 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:24813 (24.2 Kb) TX bytes:17548 (17.1 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x7000 Memory:c0210000-c0210fff and route gives me this: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 So I'm stuck. Everything looks OK to my ignorant eye, but no connection. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but can't figure it out. (By the way, I downloaded the latest version of ipw2100, but the module wouldn't install. Looks like there's a function that needs to be compiled into the kernel -- pci_dma_sync_single. I've been told this should all work without having to create a new kernel though...) Thanks for any help! Spiros Psarris
