Hello all,
I have been trying to get SUSE 10.1 working with my wireless nic and router for about 1.5 weeks and have read many many forums trying to get it up and going with no luck. My experience is very limited when it comes to Linux. Would someone please help me with my setup?

Thanks for the help.


Linksys WRT54g router
Linksys WMP54gV4 wireless nic

Linksys Router Info
---Local IP Address: 192.168.1.1
---SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0
---Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
-----Starting Ip 192.168.1.100
-----DHCP Enabled
---Wireless SSID: OTHERONE w/broadcast enabled and no security

Info I have in SUSE for the wireless
---Firewall (Internal Zone) Unprotected
---HOST Name: Linux, site
---Device Activation - at boot time
---Automatic Address Setup (via DHCP)
---Advanced-DHCP Options - Request Broadcast Response
---Operating Mode: Managed
---SSID: OTHERONE
---Authentication: Open

It appears that there is no broadcast so I am assuming that I have something configured incorrectly. Oh, it did work with Windows 2k.
