Hi,
Having problems with getting wireless to work on my laptop. Posted a query about this earlier, but in the wrong forum (see here); started a new thread here following suggestions by DenverD and caf4926.
My problem is that the plasmoid-network manager shows that I am connected to my wireless network (with SSID “Fatty”), but I can’t get onto the web. Browser, chat application, twitter client - nothing is able to connect.
Followed the instructions given by the stickies at the top of this forum. Here is what I got.

It appears to me that there are no problems with firmware for my wlan.
I then scanned for available networks

So there is some problem here.
In case I have missed something here, please let me know. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
