Hello list! |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm having some problems setting a wireless network consisting of a |
4 |
gentoo ap, one gentoo station and one Windows XP station. |
5 |
I've followed the instructions on the madwifi.org and on gentoo |
6 |
specialized forums and wiki. Seems like the "wireless" part of the |
7 |
network is just fine and every station can connect to the ap, but I |
8 |
can't do more than ping the hosts in the winxp station and the gentoo |
9 |
station connects to the network but can't do nothing... not even ping |
10 |
the ap. |
11 |
Nothing wrong with logs and signal... but it seems that all the |
12 |
network services and protocols (tcp, udp and icmp for the gentoo |
13 |
station) aren't working. |
14 |
|
15 |
The strange thing is that the Windows XP host can ping the ap, however |
16 |
it can't get a dhcp address and even using static IP can't access |
17 |
services on the AP like http and ssh. This machine can ping hosts on |
18 |
the internet but can't access tcp or udp services. Iptraf on the AP |
19 |
reports the connections. |
20 |
|
21 |
The other Gentoo workstation can scan and connect to the network but |
22 |
can't do nothing more. |

No bad logs, no problems. It can ping the router ap, ping internet |
250 |
address and even get dns responses from the ap. All other network |
251 |
functions doesn't work. |
252 |
|
253 |
Both stations reports good signal. |
254 |
|
255 |
What about the "ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel."? |
256 |
I thought the madwifi-ng modules were all open source. The madwifi-ng |
257 |
package version is the latest until now (0.9.2.1). |
258 |
|
259 |
I don't know what else I can do. From what I know, it should be |
260 |
working but mystical forces are haunting my network. |
261 |
|
262 |
I would appreciate any help. |
