I am running SuSE 9.2 pro and a Linksys WPC54G PC card.
I am attempting to connect to a "b" standard AP
According to KWiFi I am connected to a AP it gives me the mac address of
it.
I am getting a ipaddress as well.
I am unable to browse the net, "network not available"
Nor am I able to ping an address.

Following is a copy of my iwconfig file, my ifconfig file, and the
output from netstat -r.
It seems like I am not pulling a gateway address.

If someone can point me out how to configure the gateway, that may be a
start.

Thanks for any help.
