Re: wireless device has ip, can't ping
Oh yeah, i also added:
#/etc/network/interfaces.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
>Are you running DHCP?

- yes to both, i did.
/etc/pcmcia/networks.opts
DHCP="y"

-I'm not familiar with this file: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
I know /etc/dhclient.conf but do not usually have to have any special
config.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok, i know that this is because the system is
not seeing the correct nameservers. I just installed this
wireless card and it seems to come up ok, with the correct drivers
etc, The problem is i can't ping aything not on my local network,
like, 'yahoo.com', however i can ping:
64.58.79.230, which is yahoo, so is appears the nameservers
are not being seen.
/etc/resolv.conf gets automatically
written at boot (and shutdown) time to:
search
nameservers 192.168.0.1
by, what i believe, /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
If i try to configure /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
to include the proper dns servers of my isp it will
include them but still appends the above as it's last
entry. I know that 192.168.0.1 is the WAP ip, (my gateway
to the internet) but where is it getting this entry and how
can i properly add the correct dns servers so i can actually use
this card.
thanks
