[driverloader] WPC54G Can't connect to WRT54G

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you can see your routing table using the 'ip route' command. If you want to 
access the internet with your wireless card, and your wireless interface is, 
for example, called wlan0 and your gateway is x.x.x.x, issue the following 
command to change the default route :

ip route change default via x.x.x.x dev wlan0

Routing should also be automatically configured for you if you use the 
networking configuration scripting system provided by your Linux 
distribution.
