I'm experiencing an issue with Suse 9.3 and it's somewhat bizarre. I
have Suse 9.3 running on a Dell Latitude D505 laptop. The laptop has a
built-in Intel IPW2200BG wireless card. The wireless card works fine
after installation (drivers were supplied). The issue I'm having is
that, over the wireless connection, I am not getting a default gateway
from DHCP. My wireless card is pulling an IP address and I am able to
ping other devices on my network. However I am unable to ping public IP
addresses or DNS names. If I go into my wireless settings and manually
assign it a default gateway, everything works just fine. This is more
of a nuisance then anything.

Any suggestions???
