The card looks to be functional and associated with an access point or a router of the same brand as the card, what do you mean when you say you can "ping the card and nothing else"?

Here's an example of some pings:

can you post output from the route command? here's some things to check also:
WEP on/off on router?
MAC filtering on/off on router, if it's on is this card in the list?

Here's what the route command says, i think this might be the problem, but i have no idea where to go from here.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

Everything on the router is fine too... its working for a couple of different windows machines currently.

ok, try adding some routes for eth1:
route add 192.168.2.0 eth1
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 eth1
see if you can ping 192.168.2.1 if no errors are returned from route

I entered the route commands and now route gives me:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1


But I'm still getting the "destination host unreachable" error when trying to ping my router.

What about WEP encryption?, is it enabled on the router? Is the router set up to respond to pings? ie: can you ping the router from one of the others?

No encryption and i can ping away from any other comp. I've even tried resetting the router several times... but it does nothing for my laptop.

are there any firewall rules or iptable things that might be causing this?

according to the post with your iwconfig output, your card is transmitting, but nothing is received, makes me think something is blocking, or else the card is being rejected by the router, did you check the MAC filter on the router?

Yeah everything between the router and the card is fine, I have windows on my notebook too and the card works perfectly for it... its what i'm using right now.

Did you get any errors when you compiled the atmelwlandriver? Perhaps it's time to turn our attention to the driver itself.

I'm almost positive there were no errrors, I think I would have noticed that, but I'll recompile and post anything.

Also, this might help... when I first installed the card was recognized (cardctl ident gave me "Belkin 11Mbps..." stuf) but there was no module binded to it. I looked in the pcmcia conf file but couldn't find that entry to bind the module to... i believe the pcmf502rd module was referenced in the atmel.conf file but i couldn't find the module itself on my system.... I'm really confused.... has anyone out there tried this yet?
