Basic Wireless Commands in LINUX?

Question

Im already cracking WEP keys thanks to the many tutorials everywhere...

But as a nooob, im missing the basic stuff.
Im trying to configure the card manually, because i set my router to not be a DHCP server.

These commands are the ones im using, but i cant get connected to the internet. I can ping my router though...

ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.5 (that sets the ip fine)

iwconfig ath0 key XXXXXX (my wep key)
iwconfig ath0 channel 6 (sets the card to channel 6 like my AP)
route add default gw 192.168.2.1 ath0 (adds the default gateway)
ifconfig ath0 up (brings up the interface?)

and i also tried

echo nameserver 192.168.2.1 >> /etc/resolve.conf

I dont know what else i need. because all this will not get me connected to the internet.

If i use DHCP, i can get connected without problems... but i need to keep things manual in this case.

Any clue?

Thanks a lot.
