hey, |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
have you checked that you are currently connected to a wireless network, |
| 12 |
and that the interface is up? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
using: 'iwconfig ath0' should tell you if the device is connected to a |
| 15 |
network and 'ifconfig ath0' should inform you if the interface is up |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
in my experience, if iwconfig ath0 shows the correct information, it may |
| 18 |
be that the wireless card was configured while the interface was down, |
| 19 |
also in my experience when the interface is brought up, it has a |
| 20 |
tendency to overweight the settings previously set. |
| 21 |
the order of commands i normaly use to connect my atheros card to a |
| 22 |
network is: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
ifconfig ath0 up |
| 25 |
wlanconfig ath0 list scan (if this returns results, then i count the |
| 26 |
card as working) |
| 27 |
iwconfig ath0 |
| 28 |
<if iwconfig returns favorable results> |
| 29 |
-- dhcpcd ath0 |
| 30 |
<else> |
| 31 |
-- iwconfig ath0 mode mannaged |
| 32 |
-- iwconfig ath0 essid <id> (obtained id from wlanconfig ath0 list scan) |
| 33 |
-- iwconfig ath0 ap <ap mac> (obtained id from wlanconfig ath0 list scan) |
| 34 |
-- iwconfig ath0 channel <channel> (obtained id from wlanconfig ath0 |
| 35 |
list scan - i have fond its not realy required, but i normaly set it |
| 36 |
anyway) |
| 37 |
-- dhcpcd ath0 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
now while i use dhcpcd, i assume this should also work for dhclient - |
| 40 |
good luck! |
