Hi Rob

I have done the following:

I edited /etc/network/interfaces by adding

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp

peteruhp@peteruhp-desktop:~$ dmesg | grep rt2x00
[   37.236000] rt61 1.1.0 CVS CVS http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com

peteruhp@peteruhp-desktop:~$ iwlist scanning
// Cut stuff
ra0       Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:11:50:79:45:6B
                    ESSID:"belkin54g"
                    Mode:Managed
                    Channel:11
                    Encryption key:off
                    Quality:100/100  Signal level:-26 dBm  Noise
level:-256 dBm
   
//cut more stuff

peteruhp@peteruhp-desktop:~$ sudo iwconfig ra0 ESSID belkin54g
peteruhp@peteruhp-desktop:~$ sudo iwconfig ra0 channel 11
peteruhp@peteruhp-desktop:~$ sudo dhclient ra0

I then played around in Network Settings. It seems to me we are so near!

Thanks for your help so far, does the above give you a hint as to what
is wrong.
