[driverloader] Problems configuring Intel 2200bg and driverloader

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

to complete the information provided by Keith, you should make sure that the 
wireless interface is set as the default route. Since you are able to access 
the LAN with your wireless interface but not the Internet, this is probably 
the problem.

The rest of this post expects that your wireless interface is named 'wlan0', 
which is the default setting for SuSE. Please edit the file 
'/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0' and add the following lines into that 
file :

---
DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF='yes'
DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE='yes'
---

Them, please reactivate your wireless interface using the following commands 
in a root shell :

---
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
---

Regards,
