If the iwconfig idea does not work. See if you can ping the internet address via
ip and not name. If it works add your dns servers manually I had the same issue
on my home network.

Quoting ÃÖÈ¿½Ä <drwx () home cnu ac kr>:

Your wireless card needs a association to the linksys AP.
Maybe you have to use a association tool like a iwconfig.
 If you find out correct MAC address of linksys in iwconfig output, you can
connect to the AP without no WEP, 802.11b.
 If you use authentication in wireless, you needs another client tool that
can authenticate between wireless card and AP, for example
xsupplicant(802.1x).
I hope my information is helpful to you.
