Done a lil more digging re my wireless and dunno if the following will help

iwconfig gives the following

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"abrasax"  Nickname:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:1B:11:D4:EA:32

          Power Management:off

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


I'm gathering nothing usefull there for now

sudo dhclient if_name  gives the following

Now I gather we have some errors on my side that might be a prob?
