Only much worse, since it compiles everything from scratch. Its still
running...

I thought the blank gateway was odd too. I manually set my connection
up for static IP, no gateway (like yours ;-)) and it seems to work too.

Ouch! That makes my head hurt!!! I saw a howto that uses a socks proxy
to get the connection to go over wireless. Long about step 5 you need
to apt-get something. Since I didn't have the regular networking going
I couldn't exactly install anything... Now that my networking is going,
I can re-start working on the wireless connection.
