Re: [PLUG] Kubuntu and a Belkin 54g wireless card with an Atheros chipset

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Turn the router off and back on.  Then try again.  [This has worked
for me somtimes when I have had this problem...]

Then try assigning the card a static IP address within the subnet the
router is in, but outside the range it manages, and try pinging the
router.  For example, if the router is at 192.168.1.1, manages
192.168.1.100 & up, try a static address like 192.168.1.60:

 sudo ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.60 up
 ping -c3 192.168.1.1

If that doesn't work, then I am out of my depth.
