OK, sounds like the problem is at the client (ie your PC) end - or how
are you judging whether you get a connection?

Is you card set up to work in infrastructure mode (ie to work with an
access point)?

Your card may be expecting to work in "Ad Hoc" mode - meaning it just
talks to other wireless cards as an equal rather than being governed by
the master in the router.

Are you set up to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) - this
means the IP address for your card is assigned by the router?

How are you judging whether you are connected or not?
