Default wireless lan

I have got my Broadcom wireless card set up w/ ndiswrapper and cannot
connect to the Internet. I can however ping my wireless router (gateway)
and even pull an IP from it. What I cannot do is get beyond the router. I
am dual booting with Windows XP pro and, I can using the same security
settings (WEP/WPA) connect my laptop to the Internet while in Windows. I
also added my router as a nameserver to the etc/resolv.conf file with no
effect. Is the issues related to IPv6 or something else? Below is a scren
shot of my wlan device after running the iwconfig in the shell. I have
altered my encryption key below for security reasons. I had this working
fine under Suse 9.3, I just cannot figure out what is the problem. Also
is the KDE wireless manager a good tool to use?
