[wplug-bsd] Net configuration still not working

[Christopher C. McHugh]

That is not always the case.  Try logging onto the box locally and as root
flush the routing table and try again. (If you do it remotely via ssh you
will most likely lose connectivity.  "route flush" Will clear the routing
table and allow you to start from scratch.

When I do that, I get a "file exists" error, which I think means the route 
is already established.

Getting the WRT54G out of the picture is a very good idea, though my 
original goal was to connect to that device in particular in order to 
configure its Wireless security settings.

I'm not familiar with the arp command.. but here are the outputs:
