 It appears that everything is setup, but I have no network access. ping
or traceroute do not work.

This is from the router. It shows that the USB WiFI card is connected,
but no network activity with the wireless USB card in OpenSuSE.

 If I plug the USB WiFI into a Ubuntu Laptop it works with no problems.
There must be something else I have to do? I have gone into YaST network
setup and added DHCP support.
