|
|
Hello,
Im fairly new to gentoo but i managed to get most things
working . My most recent problem is my wireless network
card. I have a Asus wl100-G card, which is well tested and
supported by ndiswrapper. I used ndiswrapper to load
the window drivers for the card (which should work fine),
and i use modprobe ndiswrapper to start my wireless.
Now i know my card is functioning cuz i can scan wireless
networks using iwlist wlan0 scan. I then configure my wlan
like this:
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
iwconfig wlan0 essid myrouter
iwconfig wlan0 key s:12345
Then i simply do
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
But the weird thing is it wont get an ip adress thru wireless..
not even when i set my WEP off in my router.
I used switches like -V and -B and -DK but none really helped
i also put RC_VERBOSE=yes on in /etc/conf.d/rc like one
of the forum users here recommanded (i used the search )
But my output stays blanco, i have no idea what is going on
i only know he wont aquire an ip adres.. Is there a way
i can get more output of my dhcpcd request or is there perhaps
a common problem with the wl100g? |

Err... this probably won't help.
Is your router/network using a static IP or dynamic one? If it is static, naturally dhcpcd will not work. _________________ Current open source project: justCheckers, a cross-platform checkers suite. |

I solved the problem.. i feel sooooo stupid
I used the windows drivers from the asus site.. it is know
these wont work
Now i used the unofficial broadcom drivers i got here:
