what is your wired network address? i'm sure you have an eth0.
i'd guess your problem has to do w/ your routing table.
here is what mine looks like:
Last login: Sun Dec 8 15:00:26 2002
[root at home root]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
255.255.255.255 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 wlan0
kntn0dsl-l0.tn. * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default kntn0dsl-l0.tn. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
i have a DSL pppoe connection to the net. i've setup my wlan w/ a
192.168.1.xxx network scheme.
i use nocatauth to manage the firewall. it is really a cool setup. :)
