Dave,
Thanks for your reply, here is the scoop about the IP addressing.
Let me know what you think.
My external IP is 24.x.x.x
The default Gateway is the Linksys router 192.168.1.1
LinkSys is configured for DHCP (Obtain IP, and DHCP Enabled.)
The Lucent gets an IP 192.168.1.150 (Hard Coded)
The Windows XP client was setup to obtain IP from the (Lucent AP-500) and it
was assigned as follow:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 169.254.93.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 167.206.3.207
167.206.7.4
When the access point was configured to obtain an IP (from the linksys
router), the gateway and DSN were not supplied to the wireless client (in
Windows XP). So, In windows, I had to hard code the IP, Gateway, DNS.
I used the same setings in Linux as above but it doesnt want to work.
Question: Should the Laptop be at 192.168.1.xx / 255.255.255.0 ?
I am lost.

Well, for starters, you're not even on the same IP network as your
router. With a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0,
your IP address MUST be 192.168.x.x, where the x's are any number
between 1 and 254. However, I would go so far as to recommend you change
your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and use an IP address of 192.168.1.x.
Assuming that the driver modules are loading correctly (and it looks
like they are), and that your wireless config (ad-hoc, channel, etc.)
are correct, this should fix your problem.
