Hi all out there, In spite of all the received help, I'm not able yet of getting connected my Linksys Wireless card. Surely I'm wrong at several points or I'm missing something important. Please, could you be so kind as to take a look to the following summary and give me some clue to try to work around this issue? * The computer is a Toshiba S1900-203 running Open SuSE 10.1. * The wireless card, a PCMCIA card Linksys #[WPC54G v2] * The "windows" driver is installed and listed by ndiswrapper -l citlali:~ # ndiswrapper -l Installed drivers: lstinds driver installed, hardware present citlali:~ # * iwconfig shows citlali:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:10 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 RTS thr:4096 B Fragment thr:4096 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 * The power led is green at start up: ndiswrapper has been added to "MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="" " line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. * By using YaST - Network Devices - Network Card - Traditional Method with ifup, I've added a new Wireless device and wrote down ndiswrapper as Module name (PCMCIA, USB are not marked) and configured it with a static IP address (I need it instead of a DHCP assigned one). The wireless device is listed as active in the devices network tools list and I can ping the IP address manually assigned to it but any access to an IP outside the private network is prevented! Please, why? No link to any available wireless access point is established. ifconfig gives the following... citlali:~ # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:3F:79:60:BC inet addr:192.168.1.31 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::202:3fff:fe79:60bc/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:482 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:429 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:302659 (295.5 Kb) TX bytes:86667 (84.6 Kb) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:42220 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:42220 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2114866 (2.0 Mb) TX bytes:2114866 (2.0 Mb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:12:17:DF:D9:24 inet addr:192.168.1.41 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::212:17ff:fedf:d924/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:5 Memory:44020000-44022000 I have to removed the newly created wireless card to regain access to Internet. Please, could you help me to get this wireless card working? Thanks!!!
