Cable Internet, Linksys router, WeG511t card, and knoppix 5 CD.

I got the card loaded, use ifconfig ath0 up and I auto connect to my router. (no security)
iwconfig shows my essid, signal, mac and all that jazz but no ip. I cannot ping anything but 127.0.0.1

Okay, same general issue as alot of people, but unlike what I've read, my card is ath0, so when I netcardconfig, I can't see it, only eth0-2 Therefore i can't say "yes" to DHCP to get an ip from the router.

Using Wan card config, I see my ath0, but that doesn't ask the DHCP question.

SO BASICALLY I'm stuck being connected to my router but not able to get an IP.

So please help me oh great Knoppix folks.
