Wireless SUSE 9.3 not working! HELP

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.

........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
