Wireless problem after update

[Marius Ionescu]

Hi.

I discovered that the wireless works for about 3-5 seconds after I get 
an IP address. After that, even thoug everything (gnome network monitor, 
gkrellm) indicates that I am still online, nothing gets thorugh. When I 
try "ping yahoo.com" it hangs for ever. If I do ifconfig,  it shows an 
ip address, but with lots of TX/RX errors. Do you think that selinux may 
have to do anything with this?

I appreciate any suggestion,
thank you,
Marius
