:-( Updated everything, rebooted and now the network is gone!!

Had to use iwconfig to configure the wireless card ath0 (why is is 
called "unknown interface"?), and then I could ping anything on my LAN.

But "network not reachable" when I try to ping a computer on the Internet!!

Just looked at the router/WAP and it can see the wireless NIC!!!!

I'm using a static IP address.
