Let me guess: You're accidentally connecting to a neighbour's open AP who's using the same 192.168 addresses as you are. Your neighbour has dialup, or unplugs his DSL, so you can't really use his AP.

Dingdingding! Yes, something like that seems to be it.

I should have realized it--even the ifconfig results I posted here showed "linksys" as the SSID; and my Linksys has a different name. All I had to do was point wiconfig at my own AP and that was that.

Thanks for suggesting this.
