Hello,
I installed my wireless drivers using ndiswrapper.
"iwlist scanning" brings up wireless networks.
i used the commmand "ifconfig wlan0 up"
said connection also shows up under ifconfig.
I attempt to connect to my wireless network using the following command:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "dlink"
- it shows no errors, and the wireless network is open.
However, i am unable to ping google, and use packman to install additional packages. Help?
-it cant be the connection itself because im on it using a laptop now and its fine.

Are you setting ip/gateway/nameserver(s) anywhere?

no? what am I supposed to be doing? I assumed that was being done dynamically, due to the fact this is a wireless connection with a wireless router. (dhcdbd?)
Looking under 192.168.0.1 on this laptop i am seeing:
LAN:

Subnt Mask : 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server : Enabled
WAN:
MAC Address : 00:1b:11:4f:4e:e2
Connection : DHCP Client Connected (DHCP Release) (DHCP Renew)
IP Address : (Ip address here)
Subnt Mask : 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway : 24.152.240.1

I dont know what to do in terms of configuring this?
