Wired Connection problem

[walleye62]

I have a Linksys WET 54G ethernet bridge that I have been trying to use with Sabayon 14.10.
I know what the SSID and the passphrase but have had no luck configuring this device. I have Century Link as a Internet provider. The only support I can get is hopefully by someone giving me direction on configuration of this ethernet bridge. I have been trying to connect this device now for about two months off and on and just get frustrated and walk away to try it another time. Please advise.
