Help for DSL access through wlan

I am having problems in configuring a DSL access through a wlan
device.

OS: Mandrake 9.2
WLAN CARD: Sitecom Wireless USB adapter WL012 (Prism2)
DRIVER: linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0

Mandrake didn't recognize the new USB device, so I had to manually
install wlan.org's prism2_usb driver.

Than I was able to activate the card, by tiping

modprobe prism2_usb
cd /etc/init.d/
../wlan start
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.11

After that I was able to ping the router, but I don't know how to
assign to the card right Gateway and DNS addresses in order to browse
the web.

Any help ?

The gateway is the IP of your wireless access point (eg: my Netgear wireless
access point/ADSL modem has the IP address of 192.168.0.1 which is what
I've set the gateway to)

At least on the Netgear, you have to set up your desktop/laptop to get IP
address via DHCP rather than set it manually (as you have) - and the access
point sets the IP addresses on these computers.

Ditto DNS - use auto DNS (ie let the DHCP set it up)

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help. I finally succeeded in setting up the card
without DHCP, by putting DNSs in resolv.conf file and by setting the
default gateway using route command:

route add default gw <gateway IP> wlan0

Hope this can help somebody else with similar problems.
