hi there,

if anyone could spare a little time to help me out here i'd be extremely greatful.

i have a wg111v2 usb dongle and i seem to have managed to successfully extract a windows driver and run it with ndis wrapper.

i am now trying to get this to connect to my netgear dg834g. i have set network essid and so forth and i seem to be able to 'half connect', but when i run the knoppix wifi gui (sorry, i forget the name, i'm back in windows now) i do not actually connect to an access point, although it detects that the wireless network is there if i scan and also that i have 100 for signal strength. the picture i have is a laptop with a blue card.

i think it may be a problem with the ip settings i am giving it when i run netcardconfig. here are the settings of my router currently:

i can ping 127.0.0.1 but if i try to ping the router (192.168.0.1) i get all time outs.

can anybody offer me some advice of what to do next? i am at the end of my second full day of trying to get this install up and running and although i have made progress and am starting to really like the linux way of doing things, i am pretty much stuck now
