I have spent days on this problem now I have reinstalled Suse 10.1 from
scratch so many times now just to make sure I have a clean sheet so
to speak but still cant get the damm wirless card to work or internet
access . hear is what I have done so far word for word .

Loaded 10.1 from scratch basically installed the ndiswrapper from DVD
Copied driver from Belkin Cd to desktop of root .
Opened a terminal
Typed in Ndiswrapper and path to driver .
Typed in Ndiswrapper –l answer driver installed hardware present
Typed ndiswrapper -m adding “alias to Wlan0 ndiswraper” to
etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper

Typed Iwlist wlan0 scan

Cell01 – address:00:11:50:FD:B8:69
ESSID :” paulsBelkin”
Protocol :IEEE 802.11b
Mode: managed
Frequancy :2.437ghz (Channel 6 )
Quality : 0/100 Signal level :-27 dbm noise level :256 dbm
Encryption key: on bit rates:1 mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 mb/s; 11 mb/s
Extra:bcn_int=100
Extra :atim=0


This tells me that at least the wireless card is reaching the Access
point because it has detected my ESSID “paulsBelkin” Therefore this
must mean that the driver and ndiswrapper is working

Now to YAST

In Yast I disconnected the Eth0 card
Then added wireless card added ndiswrapper in module
selected use dhcp

Selected "paulsBelkin" as ESSId name

Used hex and added wep key making sure that key length is the same
as router on this occasion both are 64
Made sure that firewall was set to external and then finished
Rebooted just to make sure

Still no Internet ,
Added ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.5
Route add default gw 192.168.2.1


Still no internet . What now ? this is getting so frustrating

I think it might be a routing problem but don't know where to go from
here . please any help really appriciated now big time . thanks

Go back to basics if you have not tried already. No encryption and no
firewall, see if it will connect then. If it does add one back at a time,
I would start with the firewall and leave encrypt until last.

Good luck
