Hey, I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 on my 20" 2.0 GHz 2nd Gen iMac G5, 512 mb of RAM. I'm having problems getting my wireless card working. I plugged my computer into a wired connection and opened hardware drivers. I installed my bcm43-fwcutter thingy and then rebooted the computer.
It immediately connected to my home network. However, whenever I tried to open a webpage in konqueror, the page would not open. It would do nothing for a couple minutes and then display an error.
Here is an image showing that I'm connected to my router but the internet isn't working:

I know the router works, because my PSP, Wii, and OS X partition all work with the wireless network. It defaults to connecting through DHCP, though I've manual IP, and manual (putting in the data I got from typing in ipconfig from a windows computer hooked up to the router), but none of them work.
Any help? Thanks.
PS. It's worth noting I think that when I plug in an ethernet cable, then unplug it, the internet actually works for about 20 seconds with no cable, which is weird...
