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.
