SUSE 10.0 wireless networking - HELP! :)

Hi,

I hope that some of the experts here can lend a hand. I'm definitely no
Linux expert, although I have been a user of it for years, just not the sys
admin side of things.

I'm trying to get my wireless networking working. Currently, my Cat5
connection to my router works. I can also see my router if I disconnect the
Cat5 and type the IP of the router into my browser. I just can't seem to
connect to the outside. I've tried ifdown ra0 and ifup ra0 with no luck.


Here's is all the info I can get about my system:

router:
D-link DI-634M

wireless network card:
micro-star RT2500 model: MP54G2

ifconfig:

Are you using the wan port on the router as the gateway?
