Networking :: (Newbie) Help with wireless network



Hello;
I cant get DSL connected to my Wifi access point. The card is a Prism2, and seems to be correctly recognised by the system. However I am unable to ping my AP or other computers in the network. Here are the ouputs of ifconfig and iwconfig:

iwconfig:


eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"CABINET"  Nickname:"box"
         Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437GHz  Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44  
         Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3

         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:6  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

ifconfig:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:48:C1:CC:5C  
         inet addr:169.254.146.19  Bcast:169.254.146.33  Mask:255.255.0.0

         RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
         Interrupt:9 Base address:0x140



Is there something obviously wrong with that? Thanks!
