insmod /home/dsl/rt2500.o
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, ra0
## you can check this by running "ifconfig -a"
## now set up the wireless network
iwconfig ra0 essid MY_ESSID key 1234567890 mode managed
## for automatic IP
pump -i ra0

Obviously, replace "MY_ESSID" with your SSID and "123467890" with your WEP key, or for no encryption - "key off"

Ok, we're getting closer. Everything works as you say it will up until I enter the pump command. After I give the command, the system hangs. I entered it with the "sudo" command preceding pump, as it needed to be run as root. What do I do? (note: i'm testing from the liveCD, idk if that is affecting anything)
Thanks,
Stephen

After the iwconfig command see if you can ping your router -
ping 192.168.0.1 (or whatever your router's IP is)

If successful, now try to assign a static IP address instead of auto.
First modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers, then -
ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.xx
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 ra0

ok, what do i change in etc/resolv.conf?

List the IP addresses of your Internet Service Provider's DNS servers, both primary and secondary, like this -

nameserver 123.123.123.123
nameserver 123.123.123.124

Your ISP should have provided this information when you first joined the service, but you should probably check the details at the support section of their website ... I just found that my ISP changed their DNS addresses without telling me.
