[driverloader] Belkin 54g Wireless devices

[Philip Burness]

Hi,
Sorry for the request for help but I am interested in purchasing licences for your product. I have downloaded trial licenses and cannot get the equipment to work under SuSE 9.0. 
Obviously before I purchase the licenses I would like to ensure the system functions.
I have a desktop and a laptop. The desktop has a PCI wireless network card, the laptop has a cardbus wireless network card (both are belkin and use the broadcom chipset) both are running SuSE 9.0

The laptop is configured as ESSID = Home, NICK = laptop, mode = Ad-hoc address = 169.254.94.225

The desktop is configured as ESSID = Home, nick = desk, mode = Ad-hoc address = 169.254.94.225

ifconfig from both machines show the wlan0 interface up
iwconfig from both machines show the ESSID, NICK, MODE as listed above, but both machines show 0 signal strength
The machines are next to each other
Pinging the desktop from the laptop shows the coms LED flashing but gives network unreachable
Pinging the laptop from the desktop gives the same message but I cannot see the LED's
I have removed the firewall from both machines
the kernel in the desktop is 2.4-119
the kernel in the laptop is 2.4-99

Can you help?
Phil
