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?

Sounds like you default gateway is not configured, or is configured
incorrectly. 'route' should show your internet router in the Gateway
column for your default route.

Go to /etc/sysconfig/network
find the ifcf* that relates to your broadcom
add the following lines
DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF="yes"
DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE="yes"

then execute rcnetwork restart
