Problem connecting to Router and the WEB with madwifi

[Matthew Paulosky]

I have a Linksys WRT54G router and a Netgear WG311 pci card.  This setup
works very well with XP Pro but I am having problems in my Fedora Core 1
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl system.  I installed the
kernel-madwifi-0.0.20040107-1_2.4.22_1.2174.nptl.rhfc1.i686.rpm from the
WIKI site.  When the interface is up I can ping the card but not the Router.
Also I am unable to access the Router through the web interface.  I know
that it will work because I got it to work once but don't have a clue how
and don't know what I did to loose it.  Can anyone point me in the right
direction to get this up and running?  

 

hwconf has the following listing for the wifi card:

 

class: NETWORK

bus: PCI

detached: 0

device: eth0

driver: ath_pci

desc: "Unknown vendor|Generic ath_pci device"

vendorId: 168c

deviceId: 0013

subVendorId: 1385

subDeviceId: 4900

pciType: 1

pcibus: 0

pcidev: 8

pcifn: 0

 

My ifcfg-ath0 file reads:

 

# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

# for the documentation of these parameters.

ONBOOT=no

USERCTL=yes

PEERDNS=yes

GATEWAY=

DHCP_HOSTNAME=

DEVICE=ath0

HWADDR=

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

After the command ifup ath0

 

[root at localhost root]# ifconfig gives the following:
