Madwifi + 2.6 = Confusion

I have had no problems configuring the madwifi driver for my Netgear wlan card with 9.2/2.4.23. However, I just switched to 10.0/2.6.? and I'm having problems. Can anyone help me sift through the tangential ones?

 

OK: I can see my AP, and all my settings (essid, key, etc) are right. I can ping the AP too.

 

However, the madwifi people think I need to configure a gateway using the route command:

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

That didn't work.

 

I'm also concerned that there is a new interface sit0 on my computer. I've read what it is, but have no idea what that means. Could this be complicating things?

 

Thanks.

If you run dhclient as root, dhcp should feed you your gateway/ip/dns information automatically.

 

Also what model is that Netgear specifically? I played with a Netgear ma410 cardbus card last week that had the prism2 chipset and needed the wlan-ng drivers.
