 Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2003 8:08 pm Post subject: problem with setting up my wireless card |
 |
|
i have set up my laptop and everything works except for my wireless card..
i have the modules built into the kernel like instructed in the forums... and i get everthing to start up correctly except for my ap.. it never gets my ap. only a bunch of 4's.
i am using :
and a netgear ma 401 (prism2 chipset)
pcmcia-cs
wireless tools
vanilla kernel
this is what my iwconfig shows:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"Foxtrot" Nickname:"Foxlaptop"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412GHz Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44
Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3

My wireless.opts file has this in it:
| Code: |
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
INFO="Netgear MA401RA Wireless Adapter"
ESSID="Foxtrot"
MODE="Managed"
KEY="4db3-9fae-7b [2]"
IWCONFIG="ap 00:0C:41:41:2B:76"
;;
esac

and my dmesg gives me this:

I suggest you compile all related things as modules, then remove pcmcia-cs and emerge wlan-tools-something..
