im running SuSE 9.0 on a dell inspiron 600m, which has an internal Intel® Pro Wireless 2100 (802.11b) miniPCI card. intel doesnt give any linux drivers for this, but i found a program Linuxant DriverLoader that can use the windows driver to make it work in linux. i got this all set up and linux now recognizes the device, but i cant get it to connect. the ip is correctly assigned to it, and the router even shows that its connected, but i cant ping anything else on the network, or do anything else. in the bootup this is what it shows under the network section:
"Setting up network interfaces:
lo done
eth0 (DHCP)...no IP address yet...backgrounding done
wlan0 warning:using NO encryption
ERROR: command 'iwconfig wlan0 mode Automatic' returned

SET failed on device wlan0 ; invalid argument.
(DHCP) IP/Netmask: 192.168.0.5 / 255.255.255.0 done"
heres ifconfig wlan0:
"wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:A1:2A:9E

and heres iwconfig wlan0:

does anyone know of what i could try here? thanks in advance
