 |
|
I'm a linux newbie, so bear with me.
I've tried installing my DWL-122 usb wireless device to my Inspiron 5100 and everything works fine until I try
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device |
When I do ifconfig wlan0 it shows all of the proper information (I am using a static IP). I have also looked at dmesg and it says that it has associated prism2_usb with the device. I am also able to ping the IP I set for the device from itself as well, if that's any help. If you need any more information to help me, please ask. Thanks in advance. |

Here's the output from those 2 commands.
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ifconfig -a

And here's the important bit from dmesg.
| Code: |
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x2001/0x3700) is not claimed by any active driver.
prism2usb_init: prism2_usb.o: 0.2.1-pre17 Loaded
prism2usb_init: dev_info is: prism2_usb

1. Ensure Wireless support is compiled into kernel - install kernel and reboot
2. Re emerge wireless-tools and the prism module |
i don't think this is the problem in this case since he can use ping, (not directly anyway)?
what is your output from route? and waht is it that you have tried to do and not to do?
is there any servers on the local subnet that you can access (more then ping) or have you only tried to get on the net?
