[driverloader] Card, but not working...

[Linuxant Support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you should be able to obtain your IP information by DHCP by a server which is 
behind your access point if the access point is correctly configured. It 
should works with DriverLoader.

Please send at support at linuxant.com the output of the following commands 
entered in a root shell while you are close to the access point you are 
trying to connect to.

---
cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0
iwlist wlan0 scanning
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
ip route
ip addr
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping www.linuxant.com -I wlan0 -c 5
ping 63.246.159.50 -I wlan0 -c 5
tail -f -n 30 /var/log/messages
---

These commands expect that your wireless interface is named 'wlan0', which is 
the default on SuSE.

You should send as well the the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the following in a
root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('driverloaderdiag.txt').
It'll help us solve the problem.

Regards,
