I thought I'd bring this back on list in case anyone more experienced
can offer any help...

I ran your suggestion for downing everything and bringing up Atml0 as
the default. Here is the message that comes up on the screen.

[root@localhost network-scripts]# ifup atml0
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device atml0 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for atml0... done.

It is as if the card cannot be set as the default internet connection.

Here is my routing table

[root@localhost network-scripts]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 atml0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 atml0

When I try to go to any site using Mozilla, it hangs trying to resolve
the hostname of the site to an IP. If I go directly to my router's IP
address, I can get right in. This tells me that the card is configured
correctly including WEP security. It leads me to believe that there is
something wrong with name resolution (although that works fine if I plug
the Orinoco back in.

Here are the DNS files:

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

/etc/resolv.conf
search ce1.client2.attbi.com
nameserver 63.240.76.19
nameserver 204.127.198.19

They are used properly with any other network card than the one
built-in.
