I recently bought a D-Link router and configured it.
From my Android, the access point is providing full internet access.
My Ubuntu laptop gets internet access from other access points.
The problem is I cannot get internet access with just my router (I also had tried connecting to a router some time back and had this same problem, but I switched to ethernet then).
I can connect to the network, but if I try pinging the router I get a Destination Host Unreachable error.
I cannot discover my router with nmap either. nmap just gives my own computer (not even the Android device).
Ethernet connection to my router works perfectly fine.
Here are the configurations:

Detailed info is here.
I have run out of ideas. Any help?
EDIT: So I logged on to Windows 8.1 and still the same: connected but no internet.
I went to the HP website (I own a dv6) and downloaded this. It's Broadcom driver version 6.30.59.49, released in 2012! And voila it works. Sometimes I envy Windows support.
So I dug deeper and found this launchpad bug. It was confirmed in May 2014 and still no resolution :(.
I have tried broadcom-sta, brcmac, wl, even the proprietary driver listed in Additional Sources (it's STA I think). Nothing works.
Does anybody have a clue?
EDIT: Solved. Here's the new driver + configuration in case anyone else needs it.
