Hi,

please make sure that the wireless interface is correctly configured. On 
SuSE 10.1, we recommend the use of NetworkManager for this task which is 
installed by default.

If you require more assistance, while you think you are connected to the 
access point with NetworkManager, please send at support at linuxant.com 
the output of the following commands in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --info
iwlist wlan0 scanning
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
ip route
ip addr
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping www.linuxant.com -I wlan0 -c 5
ping 63.246.136.80 -I wlan0 -c 5
tail -n 30 /var/log/messages
---

The commands above expects that your wireless interface is named 
'wlan0', which is the default on SuSE systems.

Regards,


Jonathan
