    Wireless card trouble with Suse 10.2
    Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
    That's my wireless card, it setup all ready to go! I ran ifconfig and iwconfig, and both say it found the router, I can log into the router, there is a access point, ip address are found, ran some tests it all checked out! But for some reason when I try and run Firefox and load a page it keeps saying it can't find the network, I tried ping google.com and said network is unreachable, yet everything checks out, why can't I connect to the net? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! And yes I already did the whole ndiswrapper thing already, it worked out great, it works fine on a wired connection and it is set to auto detect for the DHCP. By the way I am using an internal wireless card.

    Sounds like the connection between the wireless card and the WAP is fine. Id check the connection from the WAP to the internet. Make sure that it is receiving an IP Address itself. I am assuming that this is a router/WAP, not a stand-alone WAP. If it is, ensure that the Internet/WAN port is connected to the public line from your ISP and ensure that in the configuration, the router has a true public IP address.
