Connect to your AP

Post the output of of an ifconfig and your routing table ("netstat -r"
perhaps, I'm on AIX at the moment so I can't check the linux command,
it the equivalent of the Windows "route print" command).

You say you can ping the gateway whilst in Windows - can we assume
that you can do the same in Linux?
