I was getting some errors, but that cleared up later, so I thought it
was from rebuilding the kernel drivers, but I realized that I had just
lost connection with the tail log.
The errors "rt2x00lib_rxdone_read_signal: Warning - Frame received with
unrecognized signal" are still there, but disconnecting and reconnecting
the usb wireless helped.
The above error is a known problem with this wireless.

But anyway I seem to be connected, but, yet I can't connect to a website
using link. Link works fine when the network cable is used.

What do you have for 'ip addr list'?  'ip route list'?

Grab the rt73.bin file from http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/linux-firmware/ and put it in /lib/firmware.  
Then you will need to reboot.


Looks like one has to recompile the kernal drivers after putting the firmware 
into /lib/firmware.

I got better results after doing so.

I'm almost there.

Much better now, but the ifup command still gives errors.


What are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.wlan0?

For a static IP, it should be something like:

ONBOOT=yes
IFACE="wlan0"
SERVICE="wpa"
WPA_SERVICE="ipv4-static"
IP="192.168.0.111"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
PREFIX="24"
BROADCAST="192.168.0.255"

For wpa, you also need /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf.  See 
wireless-tools in BLFS for details.

Yes I also have /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf, but it does not seem from the error statements that it has 
gotten that far yet.
