Download Knoppix (a bootable Linux CD distro), let it configure your
wireless card and see what it does.

Can you ping any web sites by name (i.e. ping usatoday.com)? If not, check
your DNS settings.

I recently had a problem with a new router (Netgear MR814v2), where my
Linux desktop (connected by 10/100) could do anything with machines on the
LAN, but could not use TCP to the internet. It turned out to be "IP: TCP
Explicit Congestion Notification support" needed to be turned off in the
kernel options.
