I decided to try to finally get WiFi working on my laptop. My WiFi |
2 |
Cardbus card appears to lock onto my access point, but I can not ping |
3 |
the router at 192.168.1.1. I am using a Netgear WG511T card. It seems |
4 |
that no data is getting through. I am using 128bit WEP. Here are the |
5 |
relevant files or outputs. I would appreciate any help. Thanks! Rob |

lsmod output. This looks normal to me. I had to remove net_ath0 and |
8 |
put net_eth0 back in so I could send this post. |

Here is my wireless-opts file for the MadWiFi driver |

|
57 |
# Wireless LAN adapter configuration |
58 |
# |
59 |
# Theory of operation : |
60 |
# |
61 |
# The script attempts to match a block of settings to the specific wireless |
62 |
# card inserted, the *first* block matching the card is used. |
63 |
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr", with * as a |
64 |
wildcard. |
65 |
# 'scheme' is the pcmcia scheme (set via 'cardctl scheme XXX'). |
66 |
# 'hwaddr' is the unique MAC address identifier of the wireless card. |
67 |
# The MAC address is usually printed on the card, or can be found via |
68 |
ifconfig. |
69 |
# Some examples here use only half of the MAC address with a wildcard to |
70 |
# match a whole family of cards... |
71 |
# |
72 |
# All the Wireless specific configuration is done through the Wireless |
73 |
# Extensions, so we will just call 'iwconfig' with the right parameters |
74 |
# defined below. |
75 |
# Of course, you need to have iwconfig installled on your system. |
76 |
# To download iwconfig, or for more info on Wireless Extensions : |
77 |
# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html |
78 |
# |
79 |
# Note : you don't need to fill all parameters, leave them blank, in most |
80 |
# cases the driver will initialise itself with sane defaults values or |
81 |
# automatically figure out the value... And no drivers do support all |
82 |
# possible settings... |
83 |
# |
84 |
# If you make any mistakes, you'll get a cryptic message in the system |
85 |
# log. You'll need to figure out on your own which parameter was wrong: |
86 |
# cardmgr[310]: executing: './network start wvlan0' |
87 |
# cardmgr[310]: + SIOCSIWMODE: Invalid argument |
88 |
# I've tried to give more troubleshooting help at : |
89 |
# http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#debug |
90 |
# In case of doubts, just check "/etc/pcmcia/wireless" for the gory |
91 |
details... |
92 |
# |
93 |
# Note also that this script will work only with the original Pcmcia |
94 |
scripts, |
95 |
# and not with the default Red Hat scripts. Send a bug report to Red Hat ;-) |
96 |
# |

# Finally, send comments and flames to me, Jean Tourrilhes <jt@××××××.com> |
