    I have got this wireless card Cheetah Wireless AC-EW3201
    See the figure of this wireless:
    http://www.clubsecurity.com/wireles_catalogue.htm


    I installed every thing ok (I think),,,I restarted PC more than one times,,,I can see IP address have been assgined to wireless crad (eth1),,,but I can not access the web browser!!!!


    [root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth1
    eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40 : C5 : FF : 3F : DC
    inet addr:10.70.73.215 Bcast:10.70.73.255 Mask:255.255.254.0----This has been assigned to wireless card
    inet6 addr: fe80::210:b5ff:fedf:3fdc/64 Scope:Link

    RX bytes : 733 ( 733.0 B ) TX bytes:2741 (2.6 KiB)
    Interrupt:5 Base address:0x2400


    Chipset for the wireless card is :
    [root@localhost ~]# lspci
    00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801AA IDE (rev 02)
    00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA USB (rev 02)

    01:04.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 7 )


    When I go to System Tools->Internet Configuration Wizard->Screen pops up "Add new Device Type"->Device Type: Wireless connection->Forward->I have these options:

    1- Standard Microsystems Corp (SMS) SMC2602 EZConnect / Addtron AWA------same the above output
    2- ndiswrapper
    3- Other Wireless Card




    Output of :
    [root@localhost ~]# iwconfig -v
    Code:
    iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 28
Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v17.
Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v17.
eth1 Recommend Wireless Extension v11 or later,

    The output of /etc/resolv.conf is :
    search localdomain---------------Is this normal ?

    What network are you conencting to? That's an unusual IP address for LAN.

    Are you able to access remote hosts via IP address (ping, traceroute, etc)?

    Yes I have got that


    I have configured /etc/resolve.conf,,,,with nameserver and ip addresses,,,,,now it is working.


    Why do I need to configure ip addresses for DNS server (/etc/resolv.conf ) manually while I had enabeled to be obtain automatically ?
