Wireless device appears to be configured properly but I cannot ping my router!

[Pete Holsberg]

I installed the proper drivers using ndiswrapper and then used Network 
Tools (Ubuntu 7.04) to set the device up.

It sees my WAP and the configuration via Network Tools appears to be 
correct.

However, I cannot ping anything ("cannot reach") and iwconfig reports:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated  
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Sensitivity=-200 dBm 
          RTS thr=2346 B   Fragment thr=2346 B  
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

What have I missed?

Thanks.
