SuSE 9.2 Wireless (HiFi) I've tried everything?

OK. I need help. I am trying to get my built in wireless (they call
'em HiFi, I guess) card on my Toshiba notebook to work with SuSE 9.2.
Very Stange, I am hoping its just not compatible. SuSE sees the
card and my router gives it an IP. But I can't ping the router. The
route table looks fine. Ifcong look fine. The only thing I see that
is weird is that it says it can't get an IP via DHCP, but it does.

Here is the iwconfig:

ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"VALID_ESSID" Nickname:"linux"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442 GHz Access Point: XXX VAILID
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Tx-Power:50 dBm Sensitivity=0/3

Rx invalid nwid:1 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Here is the ifconfig:

Here is the route table:

Here's what is does on network restart:
