Wow, your system seems to think you don't have any connection working at
all.

One thing I would try is to run "tracepath www.google.com" - the first entry
shown should be your local machine, including IP address.

Maybe your wireless interface isn't showing up here for some reason?

Another thing to try is "route" and see what interface your default route is
on.
