Hello!

I succeeded in having my atheros pcmcia working with this board, so thank you.
But I still have a problem: although I manage to ping the other computers on my lan, Icannot connect to internet, any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Can you ping things on the internet?
Try to ping "www.google.com"

If not, can you ping "72.14.205.147"?

If yes, you have a dns problem.
If not, your internet sharing may not be set up correctly.

Also, how is your lan set up?

It sounds like your gateway is not set up. How are you configuring your network, statically or using DHCP. If DHCP it should be setup automatically for you, you can check this using

Code Sample

sudo pump -i eth0 --status

where eth0 is your network interface, it might be something else like 'wlan0'. This tells you a bunch of info about your network, dns servers, gateway server etc.

If you set up your network manually you need to define your own default gateway using 'route'

Code Sample

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

where the IP number points to your modem/router for example.

Hope this helps some. Wittfella

Thanks for your help!
answers:
for the ping of an extern IP: Network is unrechable
same for the change of gateway.

and for pump: Operation failed.

I can do a scan and find my wireless beacon, and when I do a "iwconfig", I see that my card is connected to it.

That's all I can say with my little knowledge!
