Many thanks for the help.

Yes, wireless LAN works from all my other computers. The Internet is
accessible from them. I have a router that does the PPPOE and DHCP and
DNS and NTP and a bunch of other things (dd-wrt).

I can connect to the wireless LAN via NetworkManager. I am asked for a
password. The connection is made. I can ping any ip address including
8.8.8.8. The /etc/resolv.conf contains "# Generated by Connection
Manager\nnameserver 127.0.0.1\nnameserver ::1" which does have
dnsmasq-base listening on port 53. I checked it (nmap 127.0.0.1 -p 53)
and it was open.

That seems to make sense, but I have never seen a working NetworkManager
setup. So I don't know what to expect.

Any more ideas?
