Help! I've fallen over the Wifi config cliff and I can't get up.<br><br>I upgraded my fiesty box to gutsy and tried to use my new, generic zd1211 USB dongle to connect to my Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS, which is running DD-WRT v23 SP2. Never got it working under fiesty, and no luck with gutsy so far. I've been trying all of the Wifi tips in
<a href="http://help.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">help.ubuntu.com</a>, and could really use a pointer or two.<br><br>Here are the assorted clues. lsmod shows the zd1211rw module loaded into the kernel. I set up the router for a static IP address for the USB dongle's MAC.
