DLINK DWL-G122 REV B

I'm trying to configure a DLink-DWL-G122 Rev(B) USB wireless card with a Toshiba Laptop.

I've installed the rt2570-cvs-2007060620 driver and the LED next to Link is on.

When I run iwlist wlan0 scan it shows the following output

wlan0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:14:BF:F3:40:EA
ESSID:"WLAN"
Mode:Master
Frequency:2.437 GHz
Encryption key

ff
Extra:tsf=00000012f150f8c4

ifconfig -a shows the following output

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:95:FB:5C:B6
inet6 addr: fe80::211:95ff:fefb:5cb6/64 Scope:Link
UP RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:28 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:10880 (10.6 Kb)
Base address:0x4000

ifconfig wlan0 up or iwconfig wlan0 essid WLAN commands run smoothly and looks like they are bringing up the wireless card as expected.

Even though it looks like my wireless card is configured correctly, I'm still unable to browse internet.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You continue with the problem?

You don't have an IP. E.g. ifconfig:

Code:

Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:E9:F8:FD:83  
inet addr:192.168.0.11  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::215:e9ff:fef8:fd83/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
RX packets:53692 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
RX bytes:9166514 (8.7 MiB)  TX bytes:1387410 (1.3 MiB)

Throws iwconfig and something should give you seemed to this:

Code:

RT73 WLAN  ESSID:"MySSID"  Nickname:""
Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.422 GHz  Access Point: 00:18:F3:9A:3D:D9

You should revise if assign an IP and the DNS charged to be able to surf the net.
