1 Hi group,
2
3 I'm trying to connect at the library to their wifi(Open network, no key required), but it's not working so I moved to one of their own machines to send this.
4
5 Here's the steps I took:
6
7 cat /proc/net/wireless gives me the interface wlan0
8
9 ifconfig wlan0 up
10
11 iwlist wlan0 scan reveals the network name, the chan.
12
13 iwconfig wlan0 essid "Network Name"
14
15 iwconfig wlan0 chan 1
16
17 ping somebody.com gets unknown host.
18
19 dmesg:
20 ...
21 wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
22 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
23 wlan0: authenticated
24 wlan0: associate with AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
25 wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
26 wlan0: associated
27
28 I know the system is working because I see others here working with their Windows laptops.
