Hey, I'm new to slackware but not *so* new to Linux (using it as main OS fo a year or so). Anyway, I've booted up slack and feel like connecting to my wireless, so I ran kwifimanager to scan for networks. Mine came up, I entered the WEP, and I got little green bars and happy messages galore. However, when I try opening up a browser (firefox, konqueror, even links)I fail to connect. Right now I have a Dell Inspirion 6000, which has a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card. Iwconfig shows that the computer has recognized my card, and even that it has sucessfully connected. What's going on here?

Thanks for any help.
