Netgear Wlan on Debian
hi
I installed the drivers for netgera WG111 through ndiswrapper. Everything was working allright.
I was actually surfing the net for some hours.
i was actually using the gnomes Network manager and everything wasvery easy to handle.
But after one restart everything goes wrong.
I first load the modules through modprobe ndiswrapper.
and it says its ok.But first of all in my log i get this messge:

Apr 23 17:07:42 spyros kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
The important part ist the link not ready.
i saw in other forums that sometimes trying to connect gets the link up. So i tried to connect.
Another thing . Once on the Netwotk Manager applet i was able to see the available wireless connections, but now i dont.
But if i go from the Network Settings of gnome , i can see them and i am able to choose one of them.
when i do that i get this on sys.log
Apr 23 17:32:57 spyros dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14

Apr 23 17:33:20 spyros avahi-autoipd(wlan0)[4024]: Successfully claimed IP address 169.254.4.102
Only it actually does the DHCPDISCOVER for ten times ont different intervals. What about the last sentence " Successfully claimed IP address 169.254.4.102"
The point is that i still have no internet. It is very strange since i was working all right 2 hours ago.
pls any suggestions
