0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 wlan0
that looks the same as you had but it still doe snot allow me to get outside of the network
Now what is the error message you get when you type:
$ ping
www.google.comand can you successfully:
$ ping 216.239.51.101
If the first one fails and the second one is successful the you have a DNS resolver issue and your network is working. Then all you should have to do is configure the "/etc/resolv.conf" file with the proper domain/search domains and DNS servers.
If you can not ping the second address above but you can ping your gateway address then I will be a little confused as it should work. The only other thing I can think of at that point is possible firewall configuration on your SuSe box may be getting in the way. You might also try a:
$ /usr/sbin/traceroute -n 216.239.51.101
and see how far you get. Also I do not see a route for your loopback device (127.0.0.1).
Also, don't know if you've seen this or if it would be of any help:
