Hi,

thank you very much. I followed your instructions and things are going
much better now, but finally no success yet.

If a type ipup  ath0 

I get the following error message:
"Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported"
and then
Determining IP Information .....  (orig. German msg translated)
which will end unsuccessful.

ifconfig says: 
ath0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:05:4E:41:7D:62
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:254 errors:17 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:17
          TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:27178 (26.5 Kb)  TX bytes:328 (328.0 b)
          Interrupt:11 Speicher:e4d67000-e4d77000
 
The Hardware Address is OK (according to the machines doc)

Any idea how to proceed or what to check further?


Thanks
Peter
