Thanks Jack,
I waited a few days before answering your post and now I can tell you that
your links were useful and, in the end, effective!
I basically followed all the steps needed to have the wireless connection
working. But once I got to the end of it, my connection didn't wake up.
So, I started wandering in the configuration pages of the modem without
actually changing anything but pressing the magical "restart AP".
And it worked! I still haven't understood why/how it came back to life.
Maybe it's just a sum of little things in a row in the right order. I just
hope I'll never have to face this problem again!
Thanks again, also because you're the only one that has answered my question
so far.
