Hello;
I cant get DSL connected to my Wifi access point. The card is a Prism2, and seems to be correctly recognised by the system. However I am unable to ping my AP or other computers in the network. Here are the ouputs of ifconfig and iwconfig:

iwconfig:

eth0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"CABINET" Nickname:"box"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44

Link Quality:0/92 Signal level:134/153 Noise level:134/153
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:6 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

ifconfig:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:C1:CC:5C
inet addr:169.254.146.19 Bcast:169.254.146.33 Mask:255.255.0.0

Is there something obviously wrong with that? Thanks!
