Dear folks,

I am having a difficult time connecting at decent speeds to a wireless network 
setup by my nephew with Fedora 14.  I installed Fedora 14 on a quad core machine 
that had Fedora 12 happily running.  IT has a built in wireless device 
integrated in it.  The installation worked beautifully and connected the first 
time around.  The driver rtl8187 loaded fine and I browsed the web and applied 
all the updates and got new kernel too.  I was very happy.  I turned off the 
machine and yesterday and today tried to connect to internet with it and it not 
longer works the way it did the first time :(, I cannot connect to any page like 
I did before and networkmanger in KDE tells me that I am connected but cannot 
browse.  In windows, I can browse the web without troubles, here is output from 
ipconfig /all

What can I do in Linux to make my connection work the same way that it did the 
first time?  I appreciate any advice given and hope all users around the world 
have a nice Thanksgiving Holiday :)


Regards,

Antonio
