Hello everyone,
I'm able to connect to a wireless network using NetworkManager, but somehow the established connection does not work, i.e. I'm unable to load any websites, ping other hosts etc. even though I should have a connection. Connecting via Ethernet works fine. The computer's hostname even shows up in the router's web interface as being connected over a wireless connection and I've experienced the same problem with a different router.
This wireless card has worked with WICD (although in a different computer with VL 7.0 Gold) before; this is its lspci entry:
04:02.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5212/AR5213 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
iwconfig's output on the wireless connection:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"(Here was the SSID)"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point: (Here was the router's MAC address)

And ifconfig's output on wlan0:

What is the issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
