route tells you what gateway IP address you have. Its pointless pinging
10.5.70.1 if the gateway IP is 10.5.70.254
You need to use route -n to find the gateway IP address.
The -n is the important switch. It turns off DNS for that command, so
traceroute -n 8.8.8.8 will show you the route to Google's DNS server by
every IP address. You know there is a problem with your DNS, so
attempting DNS lookups will fail.
You might want to look at trying a manual wireless connection with
iwconfig and wpa_supplicant to see if those methods work.
Follow the tutorial at this link: http://linux.icydog.net/wpa.php
If that works, then you know you can connect to the wifi network and the
problem is in your wicd-client config somewhere.
Best,
John
