It appears that the wireless AP I connected to has "ping" disabled. Even though I can't ping anywhere, which was what I have been trying in the past few days, I can still browse the internet. I am not sure what other function has been disabled. I will figure it out tomorrow.
The Belkin wireless adapter uses rt73 driver. That can be installed from the kernel. Once installed. You can use a command line:
-------------
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "NDSU"
sudo dhclient wlan0
sudo ifconfig
-------------
That should work and make. If the wireless gets lost after reboot, you need change the interfaces and add dhclient to rc.local file.
