Reception Errors

I have a HP NC4200 coupled with an Intel 2200 wireless chipset.

I have been able to install firmware and driver for this device, and I
am able to set a static IP and have it talk to our router. However it
is unable to get to the Internet.

Here's what my system tells me:

When checking in Network Tools I learned that there are a lot of
reception errors. It's nearly dropping each packet.

Any ideas?

There is no sysconfig folder.
