Wired and wireless internet problems

[Nathan Hale]

I just installed SuSE 10.3 on my Acer Aspire 5570Z and am getting no internet access whatsoever. When it is plugged in it claims to be connected to the internet via ethernet cable but I cannot use AIM or any browsers. They just do nothing.

Ok, I've gotten it working via ethernet cable and now I just need wireless. I downloaded and installed MadWifi multiple times yet I still can't find it anywhere. I have an Atheros wireless card so I have found that I need MadWifi. I think I could get it working if only I could figure out how to get to this MadWifi program.

Maybe this will help

or this

or looks like a winner

The last link you gave me I tried what worked for the guy [URL="http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifi-ng&rev=1211733739"[/URL]
but I get things like this:

It seems to me as if I installed or downloaded MadWifi wrong but I did it several times from that YaST2 program and the "One click install" on the SuSE website. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong
