Hi,
trying to get internet connection via wireless on Suse 11.4.
Although ifstatus eth1 reports an IP address (and router reports a wireless connection) no Internet access is possible, which seems very strange (including the admin page of the router).
> ifstatus eth1
eth1 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
eth1 is prepared for use with ifplugd
eth1 is probably associated
DHCP4 client (dhcpcd) is running
IP address: 192.168.0.11/24
eth1 is up

eth1 IP address: 192.168.0.11/24

id=0
mode=station
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.0.11
As it doesn’t seem to be a clear hardware problem I’m not sure whether this is the right forum to post. below are the hardware infos.
Internet connection via eth0 (cable ethernet connection) works fine.
Has anybody any ideas on what to check??
thanks, peter
