To clairify your email seems to say at one point you have an IP address that looks correct, but then you go on to say that it cannot find any wireless networks. If you can't find the network how are you getting an IP address (is it statically assigned, or am I confused on this part)?
<br><br>I'm not directly familiar with the WLAN W200 card. Does it have native Linux support or are you using NDISwrapper? If you do an iwconfig does it see the card? Does iwconfig list the correct essid for the library network? If iwconfig looks correct, does ifconfig list an ip address, dns, gateway... If not have you tried (as root) doing:

<div>I have a Compaq Evo N800c laptop with Suse 10 loaded. I have been able to get the WLAN W200 wireless card working and am at the Central Library trying to make a connection. KwifiManager sees the network and correctly identifies it. I am comparing using a Gateway laptop with Windows XP that is successfully on the internet. The Access point seems correct and the Local IP is correct but when I start a browser the page cannot be found. On Kwifimanager I click Scan for Networks and it says "The scan is complete, but no networks have been found.

<div>Help, any ideas? I am so close to having this working but I am dumbfounded by this.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jim Asbille, MSM<br>registered Linux user number 388067<br><br>Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
