a: yes
b: yes, it says driver loaded, hardware present
c: yes wlan0 is listed there...
my wlan is not encrypted, but protected by a mac lock, and essid is hidden. i try and try and try to set it up, and it just wont work :'(
i can scan fine, and i can find the ap's, and if i put in an essid, it can even show my ap with it's hidden essid. i can connect to the router, because you can see open connections if i log onto my router. Strange thing is though, that the router says my pc is running 11g?
But apparently everything works fine, i just can't get online :S

Okay so does /sbin/ifconfig wlan0
show you an valid IP Address?
Then check the /etc/resolve.conf
for a line called nameserver = <IPADDRESS of your Router>
And also try /sbin/iwconfig wlan0

... and are you sure that you applied the correct MAC Address of your WLAN Card to the router?

Shows no ip at all... the nameserver = is already set, and the iwconfig shows my essid and so on :S but no inet but a inet6 :S

okay and what if you just use a static ip just for test?

already tried it, doesn't work...
