continued progress - I can ping the router from the notebook, and can
ping the notebook from another machine. all very good. ( though
strange that it now goes as i've not actually changed anything! )
i can't ping outside eg ihug by name or ip from the notebook (which I
can do successfully from another machine). "destination host unreachable".
i'm nearly there! not sure what to do from here...

Hi, I am trying to get a dwl-g630 pcmcia wireless card to go in my
notebook
running suse 9.3. I have the wireless-tools module installed. The
Yast network
card tool shows a D-Link WLAN controller configured with DHCP,
correct ESSID and
authentication info. /var/log/messages shows the card's mac
address being
found. I'm stuck now beyond showing the output of a few commands I
think may be
relevant. What do I need to be looking at from here?
Cheers,
Roger
Look again, the output of iwconfig shows that there is no essid set.
Also we don't have the output of ifconfig, so cannot see if it is up
and has an IP address.
Yes I had seen that iwconfig showed on essid yet it WAS set in Yast
"network card". I had double-checked that yesterday and saw no
change. On bringing the machine home and trying again with my wag54
linksys router and changing the appropriate settings, there is plenty
of progress (I'll restrict my attempts to getting it working at home
for now). The router is giving out an ip address to the card and it
shows on the router's wireless client list. The notebook itself
shows the card has obtained an ip address from the router. iwconfig
looks better (essid is shows correctly). That is all good. The
default gateway is set to the ip address of the router (via "routing"
in Yast's "network card").
I can ping the card from the notebook, but can't ping the router,
getting "destination host unreachable". I can't ping the card from
another machine on the network.
Also, (not every time) when saving the settings in "network card" the
notebook will lock up hard - totally unresponsive to any ctrl+alt+
option, the only choice I have being to power down. May be a clue?
fresh output of ifconfig and iwconfig:
