I'm having some trouble getting internet/ssh working over
a Linksys wireless usb adapter -- model WUSB54GSC.

I did get it working one time, but don't know why or if
I did something to make it work.  I see the access
point I want to use and connect to it.  That seems to work.
Then iwconfig reports

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

But bringing up a URL or ssh'ing to another machine doesn't work.
I'm using Fedora 12.  If I use an ethernet cable instead of the
wireless, everything works fine.  Any ideas on what to check
or do?

I see two things here, one is that there is no IP on that wlan2, indicating that it is connected but not routed. The other is that it's wlan2 insteadl of wlan0, indicating that something is going on, since even with the built-in (802.11g) and plug-in (802.11n) NICs, I have wlan0 and wlan1, so they always do start and zero and go consecutively.

Try:
- dhclient wlan2
- netstat -r
and post the results. I would expect you will get connections after that.
Your dmesg output should have information of why that's wlan2, please read and report.


Also in a separate matter ...
