Hi, I can't figure out my wireless (a 2WIRE router/modem) problem. After running the below script both the KWiFiManager and iwconfig shows that my card is working. However, a ping fails. My main card is a bmc4318, but the result is the same with a Linksys pci card.
I've managed to get wireless working on another laptop under Kubuntu versions of Gutsy and Feisty but now that I'm running Hardy....
