Strage problem here. I'm running Knoppix 5.1.1, booting from CD. I have a Ralink RT2561/RT61 based wireless PCI card. I can get everything setup correctly, ndiwrapper module loaded, but I can't ping the router. I can see the wireless card connect from the router, I get lights flashing on the card when I try and ping, but no response. It's almost like the Knoppix box is firewalled or something. I've tried turning encryption off with the same results. Also tried the same setup using Damn Small Linux with the same problem.

Anyone have idea idea what's going on? I'm hope I'm just missing something simple here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Info dump below...
