 |
|
Hi there i'm trying to get WLAN to work but something's wrong.
I'm using an Acer Travelmate 250 (P4 2,5Ghz - 512 M Ram - 30 GB HDD)
Gentoo is running without problems also sound runs with i810_audio module
So I buyed a NETGEAR WG511 PCMCIA card
I installed the driver given by another user of this forum => ISL3890
The card is detected at startup by gentoo-sources-kernel and can be seen in the iwconfig output:
| Code: |
cipsec0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 PRISM Duette Mode:Managed Frequency=2.484GHz Bit Rate=0kb/s
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
eth1 no wireless extensions.
|
Ifconfig shows a regular output for eth0 similar to eth1 but w/o IP settings
What do i have to do now to get a wireless connection?
P.S.:
I need the Cisco-VPN-Client to get into the WLAN of my University. |

If you're using the pcmcia-cs set then you need to edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts to match your WLAN settings
Then edit /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and add
Lasty, edit /etc/conf.d/net and supply the IP configuration.
