configuring wireless network

i have a netgear ma101b which i have finally managed to load working drivers for.  lsmod shows it's using the "usbvnetr" module, and when i run "iwconfig" it seems to pick up the right settings (maybe leftover in the device from windowsXP?) aka the right channel and SSID name.

how do i configure it to use my router at 192.168.0.1? i've tried using

ifconfig atml0 up 192.168.0.2

etc.... but pinging 192.168.0.1 still gives me a network error. i can ping 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 which is the address i give my device on the network, but i can't get the other cards or the router.

i've tried using "route" but even after reading through the man pages i have no clue what i'm doing. am i on the right track?

thanks in advance,
jordan
