[driverloader] Can reach WAP but no further . . . arrr

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

according to the output from "iwconfig", you don't seem to attach to your 
access point.

Your AP uses the ESSID "linksys". Try to set the ESSID on your adapter also by 
running "iwconfig essid linksys" or set it through the interface's 
configuration.

Also make sure you are using the latest Windows XP driver from Linksys. They 
have released a new one very recently.

In some cases, it is even necessary to flash the AP's firmware.

Let us know if none of these suggestions work.
