Problem: Couldn’t access internet using new Belkin wireless nic

Solution: Disable the internal (wired) ethernet connection when using the wireless nic and vise versa.

Overview: After a lot of pinging, route -n, etc., I finally figured out why I couldn’t access the internet. The problem was due to both the wireless and internal nic being active at the same time. Although the thread didn’t help in this specific issue, see the Ubuntu Forum for some good network diagnostic info.
