[driverloader] can't connect to access point

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

it is possible that the problem is that the 'ifup' tool does not update 
the IP routing table and the DNS resolver configuration file.

To fix this problem in SuSE 9.1, please add the following lines in your 
'/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan1' file :

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

Then, re-activate your wireless interface with the following commands in 
a root shell :

---
ifdown wlan1
ifup wlan1
---

If you require more assistance, 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-wlan1
iwlist wlan1 scanning
ifdown wlan1
ifup wlan1
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
ip route
ip addr
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping www.linuxant.com -I wlan1 -c 5
ping 63.246.159.50 -I wlan1 -c 5
tail -f -n 30 /var/log/messages
---
