Did you look up how to configure it with a cuil.com search or similar?

As the output of the commands you're running show, wifi is working on
your linux system.  The wifi wouldn't work if you were using macos or

When at a desktop I'll look for a screenshot to work out what this

Did you try pointing your browser to 192.168.0.1 ?

Just use wicd to set those details, the ip the netmask etc.  It will ask
for them when you turn off the option for automatically determining your
