[Ndiswrapper-general] SuSE 9.0 + Acer Travelmate 801LCib + Ndiswrappper 0.3

[Andreas K. <Mah...@gm...>]

Hi,

a week ago I downloaded and installed the driver in the actual version (0.3)
on my laptop (Acer TM 801 LCib). SuSeE 9.0 Professional is my actual
distribution. I tested the Linuxant driver which worked very good but I wanted free
software.
I have the Intel Wireless Card like every other Centrino Laptop and I use
the kernel 2.4.21 (I think). It is the standard kernel from SuSE.
After compiling the driver and the loader without errors I load the kernel
module (insmod driver/ndiswrappper.o) and run the loader (utils/loaddriver
8086 1043 /home/me/ndiswrapper/wintreiber/w70n51.sys
/home/me/ndiswrapper/wintreiber/w70n51.inf). The Windows driver is directly from Acer (I think it worked
also with the Linuxant driver).
In the front of my laptop is a red led which blinks after running the loader
(it means the card works).
Now I see the interface eth1 when I use the command iwconfig. Then I set the
mode (Managed), the WEP Key and the essid (spiel).
In the README stands that I should configure my network parameters for the
interface eth1. When I start yast2 or yast I cannot find the interface eth1.
To bring up the network I use ifconfig eth1 up. In the ifconfig list now I can
find the interface but it has no ip adress and I cannot use Samba or Mozilla
Firebird.
I still disabled WEP because I read that sometimes it won't work with it but
no chance. Again no ip adress.
In the last hours I tested much, read many threads in the archive and looked
with google a long time but I found no help. So perhaps you can help me
because I'm a newbie to linux...
Here is some output:

I hope you can help me (and sorry for my very bad english!)!
