Hello, I am having some serious problems with my wireless LAN. I use a Dell True Mobile 2300 router, a Dell True Mobile 1350 wireless PCI card and a Dell Inspirion, PIV 2.8 GH Mobile Processor with 512MB RAM and a GeForce Go 5200 card.
The following inputs generate this commands:
IWCONFIG:

Furthermore, the WLAN device shows up in the Network tool under the tab System Settings and has clearly picked up the MAC of the access point. I have enabled the WLAN0 in the System Settings / Security to pass by the firewall as the eth0 device.
I completely lost it. I did everything I read on all forums and it should be working if you look at the command outputs, but still, starting my browser gets me a "HOST UNRESOLVED" error and nothing happens. Also the LED on my True Mobile 2300 wireless station does not blink, indicating there is no traffic between it and my laptop.
What am I doing wrong?
