[driverloader] Driver OK but No IP addr under SuSE 9.0

[bcr at wt.net]

Hi, 
 
Linux newbie here has got the driverloader running under SuSE 9.0 and able to 
see the APs in my neighbourhood but not able to surf on them. Using a PCI 
Linksys card that works fine under Windows. I've perused the mailing list 
archives ad nauseum and have tried everything suggested there...but still no 
go. Looks like there is no IP address assigned...Any suggestions? DHCP has 
something to do with this I think. 
 
It seems that SuSE has troubles with this setup, perhaps a setup flowchart in 
the FAQ might be in order? 
 
thx, 
Brian
