w200 problems in rh 7.3

Hi:

First of all, many thanks to all the developers.
I have some problems with my w200 in a presario 908ea
runnig redhat 7.3, 2.4.20 kernel.

The device seems to be detected and the led is on
after fn-f2. It also appears in the network device
utility as wireless device and in the rh network
monitor. But i can't connect to the lan at work using
the decice. No activity appears in the network
monitor, no response to ping (to or from the
computer). 

Follows dmesg logs and configuration files, the most
relevant thing is that wlan0 has no wireless
extensions.

Thanks in advance.
