Well here's the story... a few days ago I tried to put DD-WRT on my
WRT54GV5 router. I thought I bricked it cause i couldn't access the
firmware at all but luckily I had a copy of the official linksys one
and was able to get that up and running. So for a couple days
everything worked fine... wirelessly and otherwise. Then suddenly my
new macbook (non pro) which I had previously been using kismac on was
not able to connect to the internet with it. Figuring it could be the
router, I tried using a linksys USB card I had and it works perfectly.
I even went as far as re-formatting and reinstalling OS X to try and
replace my airport driver (figuring kismac replaced the default one by
mistake), and no success. The only thing I notice now is that it DOES
appear my router is leasing the macbook an IP address... but I can't
ping the router or otherwise access it from the macbook. Please help

Are any other machines on the network able to ping the macbook?
Did kismac break my Macbook's Airport card?
