Everything worked fine until yesterday. As far as I can recall, the only changes made have been an update to automatix and I upgraded my router's firmware (WRT54G V6) to the latest firmware release. I am able to connect just fine with a 91% signal strength in windows, but I get 18% in . The connection also drops after a few seconds in only and tries to reconnect, and then asks me for the paraphrase password to connect (never did this before either). I tried changing wireless channels, with no results. I downgraded the firmware back to the previous firmware release as well, with no results. I am using an IBM thinkpad T60. Any ideas what is happening?
results of dig and ifconfig

Are you sure you are still trying to connect to your router or someone else's.
What is the result of:
iwlist scan
How did you install drivers for your card??
lshw -C network
I did not have to install any drivers for the card, worked right away. I am positive I am connecting to my router as I use a unique name.
Ran this while I was connected: I connect to quot;officequot; network.PHP Code:
