Fedora Users — wireless / system-config-network error message

Hi there,

When I run system-config-network from the command line I get the following output in the terminal:

"root@gibson ~ $ system-config-network
Warning : Device eth1 has been compiled with version 16
of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 15.
Some things may be broken..."


Some things are broken :D

I have recently upgraded my Fedora install from 2.4 to 2.6. I removed the wlan-ng driver, and I am using the built in wireless driver.

My wireless chipset is detected automatically. Our DHCP server gives me an IP address. It also gives my the same DNS server addresses that my windows partition gives me. I can ping all the other machines on my home lan.

I cannot however access the internet. I can ping servers on the internet;
Ping www.google.com gives me:

If I try to use wget however, it times out:

root@gibson ~ $ wget google.com

It stalls there and does nothing. My web browser just times out also.

Here is my ifconfig:

Here is my resolv.conf:

Here is the result of route -n:

Does anyone know what the error message means about the compiled versions? Any help would be appreciated.


Kindest Regards,
