I am very sure that it is able, since after calling dhcpcd eth1 manually |
12 |
I can browse the internet and do other networky type things. wpa_gui |
13 |
gives the status 4_WAY_HANDSHAKE until I give this command manually, and |
14 |
then it says ASSOCIATED. Interestingly enough, however, I frequently |
15 |
see Last Message as "Diconnected" for a very brief period, and then it |
16 |
will say "Associated with <MAC address>" |
17 |
|
18 |
Another strange thing that I have noticed is that when I try to ping my |
19 |
laptop from another machine, it sometimes works and sometimes does not. |
20 |
It seems that using the laptop to ping the other machine first helps |
21 |
for some reason, but that may also just be coincidence. |

I agree that something is really wrong here, and the interesting thing |
38 |
that I've noted is that the errors are always in RX packets and never in |
39 |
TX packets. I'm using the kernel provided driver for the Intel 2200. |
40 |
Perhaps I will try removing encryption from my network temporarily to |
41 |
see if that helps with the packet errors or not. This might be a good |
42 |
test to see if it is a driver problem or if it is an encryption problem |
43 |
(is the driver involved at all in the encryption, or is that done |
44 |
outside of the driver code?) |

I did just try this and it didn't work, but thanks for the suggestion! |
