[driverloader] Unable to connect to AP

[Hurt, Gerald]

I'm having a problem connecting to my access point, and I'm so close I
can taste it but I think I'm just missing something simple. I can't
figure it out! Anyway, I'm running Slackware 10.0 (kernel 2.4.26) with
driverloader 2.08, my card has the rtl8180 chipset. I installed 2.08
from source and configured my interface (wlan0), installed the winxp
drivers and temp license key. Everything looks great.

My access point ip address is 192.168.10.1
My access point does not use DHCP, so I am assigning a static address to
the wlan0 interface.
I am not running WEP or WPA, nor am I restricting MAC addresses or
applying any filters.
I've created the following script to set up the interface:

-------------snip---------------
#!/bin/sh
#
iwconfig wlan0 channel 3
Iwconfig wlan0 essid guinness
#
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.10.3
ifconfig wlan0 up
#
route add 192.168.10.1 wlan0
route add default gw 192.168.10.1
#

------------------snip--------------

Here is the results of ifconfig, route, and a test ping:

I'm not yet attempting to resolve any hostnames, just attempting to ping
the
AP. 

Also, when I run iwconfig, I do see the AP and its associated
information.

Any help as to what I could be missing?

Thanks!
Jay
