When I run XP, there is not problem with the router & wireless card. Also, when I use eth0 connection (in linux) there is no problem. If the wireless connection works in XP, then it should work in linux too ! unless there are some configuration problems. I think there is nothing wrong on the router side. The wireless card detects that there is a network present. But for some reason if I do a ping to the router, it says network is unreachable !...wonder why ?

I have put the IP address of my router in resolv.conf. But still no luck. I forgot to mention that I cannot ping the IP of my router. Does that mean anything ?

So you haven't contact to your router? Than you can't get an IP-adress. Is your W-LAN running correct, have you got connection to it? Test it with "wavemon": you would see, if you have a connection.
