Hello! I’m new to linux and also new to openSUSE.
And of course I have a wireless problem. I managed to connect to my wireless but i can’t ping my router or any web site. I am connecting through terminal. I tried with network manager but the same thing happend

Here is some info:

lspci


04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

I installed firmware in YaST.

iwconfig


wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"Wireless"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 54:E6:FC:EF:7A:D8   
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:154   Missed beacon:0

ifconfig


wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:26:5E:34:03:98  
          inet addr:192.168.1.123  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::226:5eff:fe34:398/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:9942346 (9.4 Mb)  TX bytes:1606866 (1.5 Mb)

also i added default gateway and edited /etc/resolv.conf. I also tried changing channel to auto


route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks for help.

EDIT: I forgot to say which version of openSUSE - 11.4

At any point are you calling


dhcpcd wlan0

to get your IP address?

Welcome to Linux :slight_smile:

3

No, I’m manually setting the ip adress.

Thank you:)

4

Fixed it?
Ha. You have to have a 10 character message. A"Fixed it?" Doesn’t make the cut.

5

Sorry?
No i didn’t fix it

My thought is that your manual setting isn’t working and you should try dhcpcd to see if it works. If it does, then you debug your route command. If it doesn’t, there’s a bigger problem here.

I tried it first with dhcp it didn’t work either.

8

That would have been nice to know :stuck_out_tongue:
What’s the command you’re using to associate the card to the router?

I managed to connect eventually and was so happy that i forgot to write something here. I that think problem was in using passphrase for password instead of HEX. Once I entered password in HEX things started to work.

Thx, for your help.
