Hi group, |

I posted the following at the sysrescuecd forum but I despair of ever getting a worthwhile answer: |

I've got a tripleE 900A with 4G SSHD running Xandros and I want to use the sysrescueCD to install gentoo. But I have to be able to use the wifi driver(ATH5K). There's no problem connecting from Xandros but when I boot the USB key with rescueCD I cannot connect. |

When the USB key boots one of the messages that flies past is "Setting up network". No, it doesn't, unless it means ethernet, which I don't have access to. When boot is finished I'm told to run net-setup. OK, I run |
8 |
Code: |
9 |
cat /proc/net/wireless |
10 |
and find I'm using wanl0 and run net-setup which finds the right driver OK. Then I run |
11 |
Code: |
12 |
iwlist wanl0 scan |
13 |
and it finds the wifi. So I use the info it finds, essid, channel etc in iwconfig eg |
14 |
Code: |
15 |
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Hot-spot name" |
16 |
and so forth. |

I've tried it at several places which are open and require no key. And at my own place where a key is required. |

|

But it does no good I can't even ping a URL. |

Can anybody help? I hate Xandros, it reminds me of Win98! |
