If the wireless card is the only interface plugged in at boot, it is connecting to the router and being assigned an IP. It can then ping the router and the router can ping it.

I think you are not getting a default GW, or it is incorrect. The "route" command should say.
Unfortunately, in improving the immediate future, thereby allowing myself to install the extra software I needed, I made the long term worse. :-( See my reply to James Knott. Three things are essential for this laptop: 1) At least one office suite (in English) Open Office and Koffice. Done. 2) At least one wordprocessor and one email client that can input in Japanese from the keyboard. Done easily on SuSE. But using a lot of help previously and laboriously absorbed earlier. 3) On-at-boot wireless DHCP connection. This is the closest I have got with any distro (and this is a longstanding problem). So I am tantalisingly close. But it is becoming really urgent. Tomorrow XP. So please, save me from having to administer an XP machine!
