I am trying to hook up an Asus RT-N12/b wireless router to my home pc running Ubuntu 10.04. My system seems to be not detecting the device. When I ping the device through firefox, I get the message "network is unreachable". iwconfig results in "no wireless extensions". ifconfig gives data for eth0, lo, and ppp0 when the device is not attached. When the device is attached, I get the same data except that ppp0 is gone.
I am using a speedstream 5100 dsl modem, and the network connection setting for IPv4 is set to "Automatic PPPoE".
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
