I have my dell b130 wireless working as i posted earlier however during start-up I cant get into Internet because wlan0 is acquiring out of segment IP address, below is the snippet of my log file.
Im using Open Suse 10.1 with KNetworkManager that manage my wireless connection. To get wlan0 working properly, i have to do modprobe wlan0 and reconfigure it again with Yast Control Manager.
Any idea on this, how can i can prevent it from acquiring wrong ip address from DHCP? Im using linksys wrt45 wireless router.
TIA,
thad
