Wireless SUSE 9.3 not working! HELP

Question

I am running SUSE Pro 9.3 on a DELL INSPIRON 1150 Laptop with a Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03): I folllowed all instructions on the WIKI page, I have a signal, I even seem to get an IP adress, but I have NO connection to the internet. I only get the IP adress on wlan0 with ifup wlan0 when eth0 is up. Following many threads in this forum and many others I always seem to get somewhere, but not where I want to be. Here are my details: If anyone can help, I would be .......(more than happy) linux:~ # ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present linux:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:'Wireless' Nickname:'Bokke' Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:A0:C5:5D:56:2E Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power:25 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-38 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:4170 Missed beacon:0 dsl0 no wireless extensions. linux:~ # ifconfig dsl0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:84.157.149.6 P-t-P:217.0.116.69 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:1493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1586 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:739726 (722.3 Kb) TX bytes:193979 (189.4 Kb) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:1F:21:15:C2 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:1fff:fe21:15c2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1537 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:1659 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:3 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:781249 (762.9 Kb) TX bytes:253117 (247.1 Kb) Interrupt:11 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:122 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:122 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:8463 (8.2 Kb) TX bytes:8463 (8.2 Kb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:96:CF:F6:B7 inet addr:192.168.1.33 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::290:96ff:fecf:f6b7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:82 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:140 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6334 (6.1 Kb) TX bytes:13179 (12.8 Kb) Memory:fcffc000-fcffdfff linux:~ # iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:A0:C5:5D:56:2E ESSID:'Wireless' Protocol:IEEE 802.11b Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality:0/100 Signal level:-39 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Encryption key:off Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Bit Rate:5.5 Mb/s Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Extra:bcn_int=100 Extra:atim=0 linux:~ # ifdown wlan0 wlan0 device: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Contro ller (rev 03) linux:~ # ifup wlan0 wlan0 device: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Contro ller (rev 03) wlan0 warning: using NO encryption Starting DHCP Client Daemon on wlan0... . IP/Netmask: 192.168.1.33 / 255.255.255.0 ........the one thing I do not understand is that my AP is configured with the IP 192.168.1.1 but I get the IP named above? Shouldn't they be the same? ...please help, everything is great with Linux, but the wireless part is getting on my nerves thanks Afrocharles
