    Hi,

    I just bought a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA WLAN card, which is recognized by
    my Pentium-MMX laptop with Gentoo Linux 1.4 automatically.

    PCMCIA is switched off in the kernel and wlan support is on, but no
    modules are compiled - instead, I've installed pcmcia-cs.
    I'm using WEP-128 encryption.

    And I can ping myself (192.168.116.2), but I can't ping anything else
    (not even the gateway) - I always get "Destionation Host Unreachable".

    Power management is disabled in the BIOS.

    Software output (I've changed the key and the ESSID for security's
    sake):

    ifconfig:
