[driverloader] Belkin 54g Wireless devices

You can't have both with the same IP address.  Change the IP address of
one of them to .224.  Make sure the netmask is the same on both of them
as well, though it looks like you're using the automatic stuff with the
multicast DNS.  I'd avoid all of that and just give it a static IP
address in the standard RFC1918 address space, such as:
 
laptop:  192.168.1.5  netmask 255.255.255.0
desktop:  192.168.1.6  netmask 255.255.255.0
 
Post the results of iwconfig and ifconfig from both machines.  We need
to check to make sure that you're using the same channel on both
machines.  
 
Post the results of 'cat /proc/cmdline' on both machines.  We need to
see what you're passing to the kernel in case it's an apic or acpi
issue.
 
I suppose I've been lucky in that the hardware I have is good and when I
plug stuff in, it just works.  So far, people with stock RH and Suse
kernels seem to be having problems.  Am I being too general?

	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
