need trouble shooting help for wlan0 (wg111v2)


I'm running Debian/Lenny 5. I've got a wg111v2 USB wireless adapter. I've made some progress, but I'm not able to my system connected to the internet. Note, I do have an existing wired connection working (eth0).


bring up the wireless:

Code:
NSLU2:/home/jut# ifup wlan0
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1

DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1
bound to 192.168.0.105 -- renewal in 272883 seconds.
But after I get an ip address for wlan0, I'm unable to ping the gateway or a website with "ping -I wlan0 192.168.0.1".

Can somebody offer a few trouble shooting tips. I've been pounding my head against the wall for days over here.

May be ping is blocked. Check if you can access some other service running on that ip. Also, just to be sure, bring down eth0 and then try via wlan0

I brought down eth0 and that dropped my connection. But I restarted the debian machine and was able to ssh into it via the wired connection.

This is bizarre: when i type 'who', it says i'm logged in from my wired ip address to the debian box, but i specified the wireless ip of the debian box when connecting with putty!


background info:

1. my pc is running win xp with two network adapters:
wireless (192.168.0.100)
wired (192.168.0.66)

2. the debian box also has two network adapters
wireless (192.168.0.105)
wired (192.168.0.77)



I plan to eventually eliminate the wired connections.
