Okay, you are associated. So nothing is wrong with your wireless.
root at pachy:~# ifconfig -a
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:1D:F7:76:9D

and you've got an IP address for it. Is this "static" or "dhcp"?

Is 192.168.55.4 really your gateway?

because this implies it isn't. Try pinging the gateway:
$ ping 192.168.55.4
