RE: interesting wireless card and linux issue

You may have already checked this but do you have your DNS settings
correct? You may want to ping a real world "live" IP address to see if
it responds. If it does I could only assume that you have a DNS
resolution problem. 

Another area I would check is your host file. If that is fine then you
need to look at any encryption methods you may be using. Example, look
for open of shared mode. That's where I would start off.
