I haven't found definitions for this ADDRCONF acro anywhere, so I have to guess: How do you organize your wireless: DHCP? - the answer might provide your router, and the wireless settings in /etc/ .. But I'm really not sure whether I can help here: I have given it up long time ago to set up wireless on Linux, it's simply too much work, and the outcome seems uncertain ... So others who got wireless working might come in here ....
