As the title says...

I have a Windows XP Home SP2 laptop that works wirelessly, perfectly, with a Linksys WRT54G - I can ping the router on 192.168.1.1,access the router's config pages, and ping other PCs on the network: both wired and wirelessly.

Under Linux Slackware 10.2, kernel 2.6.15.6, the same machine can only do the above when wired to the router.

Any ideas?

Hi,
If your wireless card is not Linux friendly, it's different story.
Is your card properly configured with Linux? Google for what you need.
SOunds like the lap top wireless nic is not working under nix , what chp set is it ?
