The card associates fine, but then fails to send any IP packets in the air, or at least that's what I presume is going on. I cannot ping the AP, I cannot get a lease using DHCP, basically the only thing I can do is associate. I think it does associate because when I set an invalid wep key, the status changes back to 'no carrier'. Setting a static IP address does not help. Any hints on where I might go from here to debug this? I know the setup should work because in a previous life [1] it Worked With Windows[TM] (and on the same AP).
