Can you at least 'ping' your router/default gateway?

(If it`s netgear, it will probably be 192.168.0.1 )

nope ping doesn't work either (although it does in SUSE 9.2)
what do you suggest i should do, install madwifi?

Well, I have a wg311v2 - which works out of the box with dhcp - but in warty, it didn`t, but I had no problem using ndiswrapper, so that is probably your best bet.

There are countless guides on the forum, but if you need a hand, let me know, I`ll help if I can.

I had the same problem and most of the other ideas I found on the forum did not work either. Here is what I did to get my card working :

Terminal :
sudo ifdown ath0
nano -w /etc/network/interfaces

broadcast 192.168.1.255
# wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid Cerberus
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
wireless-key1 [key in hex here]
wireless-defaultkey 1

sudo ifup ath0


for some reason it needed those defaultkey and key1 values where it previously just have wireless-key. When I just had the wireless-key value the DHCPDISCOVER requests would not locate my DHCP server. Kind of weird, but its working and I'm happy.
