I just got what I had thought was a more or less nice access point
(linksys befw11s4) but it hates me.  Well, I suspose it's more along
the lines of taunting me. 

I know it works because I can get to the outside (with difficulty, but
it's a firewall issue that I'm not going to argue with at the moment)
on a wireless connection.  So I've at least got it partly
configured....

The problem is that the happy user guide says 'type in
http://192.168.1.1/ and have configuration goodness'.  Well, thereby
hangs the tail.  When booted to linux, it just will *not* see that
address from a browser.  Talking to it by hand via the lowest common
demoniator broser (telnet) gives similar results.  nmap says '80/tcp
open http'.  Ping is happy.  iptables are wide open.

In desparation, I went to the dark side... whamo! it worked.

I feel unclean.

If it had been doing NTLM or something I could have said, ok, that's
the reason, as much as I would dislike it.  But even the bloody faq
says that linux will work to configure it b/c it's a pure web app.

Anybody got a bar of soap (aka clue) to scrub the windows crud offa
me?

Please?
