I have a wrt54gs router working fine but I have the optus supplied dlink 
modem.  
Can you get the DM111P to work direct into a pc?  Then you know it's 
connection is fine?
Is the modem connected to the right plug on the router - mine is 
labelled "internet"?
Have you set the DNS addresses of your provider into the router and/or linux?
There are so many possibilities even before we touch the wireless stuff.
