[driverloader] Can't connect to internet

[ken]

I've just installed the driverloader (trial version but will definitely
buy if this works!) using the x86_64 rpm for SuSe 9.2 kernel
2.6.8-24.11-default.  Its installed on my new 64-bit Compaq Presario
R3000 with Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g wireless LAN controller.  I
installed the drivers netbc564.inf and BCMWL564.SYS form the linuxant
website.  So far so good, the device shows up in Yast and I configured
it.  Problem is I can't connect to the internet still.  :(  Well I can
connect through eth0 but not wlan0.

I have even gone so far as to disable my eth0 connection and connect to
the wireless with a static IP address to avoid any DHCP related issues. 
Still no go.  Here is some output with the eth0 and DHCP disabled.  I
hope someone can help me.  I imagine it must be something really simple
that I'm overlooking?

As you can see below I can't even ping my router (192.168.2.1) even
though I am able to locate the router, as evidenced by the fact that it
picked up the broadcast SSID of "casa crow".  Doesn't have anything to
do with the space in the name does it?  I havn't resorted to that yet!

Notice also the "Warning:  no interface active" reported by the SuSe
firewall when the network is restarted.  Obviously that is the source of
the problem but why?

Thanks for any help,

Ken
