hi silent_enigma

I've had similar problems to this with my wireless connectivity. I'm sure somebody else will have a proper solution for you but I've found that the order in which I enable/disable things has an effect. For example, on my machine I have to disable eth0 in order to use a wireless connection. If I disable eth0 and then enable wlan0 I will encounter a similar problem to you, however if I start wlan0 first and then disable eth0 I have no problems at all ( dont want to hijack but does anybody know why this may be?).

Hope this helps

Depends on your distro really, and how you set it up. On my machine, as root the command is:

Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
Or the universal way:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 down

Check the system requirements. You may be missing something from Pardus.

You downloaded a .tgz file right? Usually these will contain files named README and INSTALL when you extract/uncompress them. Did you happen to notice if you have these files? They will explain to you what libraries/programs that you need before you can install the file you downloaded. These are usually called "Dependencies".
