i've been trying to get the airport card on my g4 tibook to work with a linksys wap11. this tibook dual boots with OS X and the card works fine with that wap under OS X.
on debian (sid) the connection is made between the card and wap and i'm
able to ssh/scp/ping etc, but i can't browse with either galeon or lynx.
for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping www.google.com

i saw a while back a thread on similar issues (slow/time-out'd browsing)
but didn't see any workarounds/fixes. i'm wondering if anyone has found
a fix for this or knows of the cause?
short of that, i've got an pcmcia wireless card on another laptop
(wcp11) that i'm thinking of setting up on the tibook with debian and
would be curious if anyone else has gone this route?
tia,
serge
