This is a good sign:

This shows that your Atheros is communicating with the AP up to layer 3. Are
you able to ping 192.168.1.1?

If not, can you ping 192.168.1.1 from the Windows
PC?
Yes
I.e, does the MiFi 2200 have a firewall that discards ICMP echo packets?
Not that I have found
If the Windows PC can ping and get a response...
did a CD come with the MiFi 2200?
NO
Did you install software from that CD onto
the Windows machines?
No the mifi copied a program to the HD to be used, every 3 months, to
reinitialize the MiFi.
If so, is it possible that such software has some extra
"phantom" layer of junk that allows the Windows machines to properly communicate
with the AP, which you don't have available to install on Linux? If so, you
need to figure out what that Windows software is providing and duplicate the
function on Linux.
With this outfit (Novatelwireless) anything is possible.
Do you know id XP has an equivalent command to route? That might be
informative.
The above output from ifconfig shows that you have IP connectivity with the MiFi
2200 AP. The effort now is to identify why the MiFi isn't apparently processing
your packets.
I am wondering what should be talking to the 192.168.1.1 interface. It
seems to me
that I'm missing a route but a route to what.
Museing, when when my Wife's XP box is connected to the MiFi she can
ping the XP laptop I am using but I can not ping her from my xp., it
times out.
My XP and my Wife's XP and my Linux box can all ping 192.168.1.3. My box
gets "Connection refused when telnet 192.168.1.3". Both XP's get a
"could not open an connection to port 23". So because we are all on the
local lan they can still get to linux via the lan but when I try to ping
my T40 laptop I get
root@dj:/home/wtopa# ping 192.168.1.7
PING 192.168.1.7 (192.168.1.7) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
I think I am missing something but don't know what other then a missing
route statement.
