OK. I will use DHCP client. I don't understand with this one: " Also, are you sure you even need ndswrapper for that particular nic? " Are you meaning that my wLAN card (Linksys WMP54G) does not work although I use ndiswrapper whereas I don't have linux device driver for my wLAN card? Thank you for your respond.

5. and finally configure the wlan0 with yast2 (network device) as follows: - I chosed "wireless" as device type - Configuration name "0" it results wlan0 - Hardware configuration name: static-0 - Module name : ndiswrapper - IRQ : I left it blank - Operating mode : managed - network name (SSID) : linksys - Encryption : Open / disabled - IP : 192.168.1.140 / 255.255.255.0 - gateway : 192.168.1.1
Whao, are you saying you MANUALLY set that IP rathern than letting the Linksys give you one?
Because the output of your iwconfig says you are not talking at all to that router.

Also, are you sure you even need ndswrapper for that particular nic?
