[Cialug] wireless nic dns issue?

[Dave Champion <dave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having an odd issue with my laptop running linux & using a wireless 
nic (an orinico silver) using the wvlan_cs driver module.

The laptop is running Mandrake 8.2. I'm connecting to the WAP and getting 
dhcp... on a 10.0.0.x network. The WAP is a dlink di-614+ which is getting 
a dhcp IP from my linux server, on a 192.168.0.x network.

On the laptop the /etc/resolve.conf has:
nameserver 10.0.0.1
... which is the "inside" IP of the WAP.

However, I can't seen to resolve IP's if I do a ping, open a browser or 
anything. I can do a "dig" and it returns proper results.

If I plug the laptop into one of the wired ports on the linksys router / 
WAP and get a 10.0.0.x address, it all works OK. If i reboot into Win2k, 
and use the wireless card or the ethernet cable, it all works OK.

Bryan B. was using the same NIC & AP the other day on a laptop running 
knoppix, and he was having the same problem.

I've checked the route on the laptop, and it's fine. I've also tried 
manually editing my /etc/resolve.conf an used both my linux firewall which 
does caching dns, and my main dns server with the same results.

Is there something specific I would need to do make the DNS resolve 
differently since I'm using the wireless card since I'm using the wireless 
card? I noticed that there's a patch for the orinico driver (mentioned in 
the kismet docs), I wonder if I need to run that patched driver?
