[driverloader] SuSE 9.2 Pro Linksys WPC54g card

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you can manually configure the default route and gateway with the 'ip 
route' command in a root shell.

However, we recommend that you configure your wireless interface with 
YaST so you will be able to use the SuSE standard commands to manage the 
wireless interface (ifup/ifdown) and there is an option in YaST to 
automatically set the default route and gateway.
