try to find How to network.
at this moment, type in a console as root
#ifconfig -a
and see if you have an IP, a gateway etc.
if not, type in the same console :
ifconfig YOUR_DEVICE YOURIP(or DHCP) YOUR_NETMASK up.

after, still in the same console as root type:
# route
and you will see if you can see your AP and your network.
if not, type in the console
route add default gw IP_YOUR_AP
route add IP_YOUR_AP gw YOUR_IP.
enjoy
