Subject: [Hampshire] Wireless problem.
I had the wireless networking on my laptop working properly at last
Saturday's BaB.

For some time I have not been able to get it to work with my router at
home. Iwconfig shows all the correct values including the MAC address
for the router however if I try to ping the router the result is
"Destination Host Unreachable". I am using Ubuntu 8.04. It worked
perfectly in the past.

Running the laptop with Fedora 10 Live I can connect with no problem.

Why can't I ping the router? Googling as usual shows others with the
same fault but I have found no solution. Any pointers will be welcome.
