I,ve installed the new openSUSE 11.1 beta 3 (as update from 11.0) on my 64bit PC and now I have some problems with the internet connection.
I have a D-Link card with an Atheros chipset, which works with the ath5k driver. If I connect to my wireless router everything works fine and pings and samba/nfs connections to my laptop (which is also in the network) also work, but if I try to connect to the internet with firefox or the YAST install manager it wont work!
can you ping an outside source such as google.com?
if not try entering your router. probably by entering the address you used to ping
into the address bar of firefox my dlink router is 192.168.0.1
user name admin
password leave blank
status > dhcp release > dhcp renew
if that doesnt work check your connections
if you have communication with wireless router then the problem is on the otherside and not with your software
I can’t ping outsources sources, but it’s no problem to ping any local device.
My router is a Siemens Gigaset SE552 and it is no problem to enter the configuration dialog, but I can’t believe that it is an outside problem, because it’s no problem to connect to the internet with my laptop which is in the same wlan…
Here is my ifconfig and iwconfig:

The strange thing is the wmaster0 device, because this is the device which is automatically configured with YAST, wlan0 doesn’t show up there, but with knetworkamanger I can only connect with wlan0.
