Is wlanconfig available from SUSE? I am having the same problem as above, and have been looking for a solution. Never posted the question as I never had the time to pull all the files together from the sticky. But basically, I am connecting to a WAP. I get the DHCP IP, and the DNS entries from the router, but cannot access (ping, &c) anything outside my box. These commands are not found in my SLED 11.
No, I was root. In fact, I even tried to find the command (in order to provide the full path) and could not locate it in any of the bin directories (used the find command as root). I am leaning on re-installing. Interestingly, I had this same problem occur with Ubuntu (9.4) live CD. I got the IP from the WAP, had DNS entries proper to the network, but could not ping the WAP or the router. It almost seemed like a routing issue, but the route table (netsat -rn) looked right to my solaris eyes. I am going to re-install tomorrow and see if that clears it up. If not, I will post a new thread following the sticky documents. But it does seem this is a common issue. Perhaps a driver (RTL8187).
