    That's exactly, what I meaned!
    When there is a net from your router, your card under linux mustn't be
    set correct, or you have a connection to your net, but you are using a
    wrong encryption.
    First if both things are working well, you would find your router by
    pinging or get access!

    So, try wavemon and you'll see, if your card find the net.

    Then you'll know, where to search for the problem...
