WLAN won't work with Netgear MA101/SuSE 9.0

I was using an analog modem on my SuSE 9.0 Prof. desktop right now but
recently installed a Netgear MA101 rev. B DSL adapter. It works fine under
Windows 2000, but I cannot get it working with Linux. I tried the
sourceforge drivers (without success) and the alternative Atmel at76c503
(RFMD) Wireless LAN Driver v0.11. After installing the driver and loading
the modules, I can ping 192.168.0.1 (see below). But I cannot get any
browser working. I do not know the problem, may be it is only the
DNS-Server (I do not know where to set up the DNS-Server and I do not know
anything about DHCP - do I have to install anything here???).

Below are the outputs of iwconfig, ifconfig, ping, lsmod and dmesg.

Thanks for any help!!!

Hi!

To help you, we need the output of the command "route"

You are NOT doing a ping to your router. You have assigned 192.168.0.1 to
your card.

Use Yast to configure your network device. There you can set up DHCP with
just a couple of clicks. It looks like your card is working to the AP but
you need to get a proper IP address.
