Paul,

Try resetting the DSL modem, and see if the Pismo picks it up then. It
does the trick when everything else fails, especially in a case like
this --because theoretically your setup should work.

You could also try switching to WEP to test the card --there is always
the possibility that the card is defective.

Hope it helps!

Felix
