 |

Hello all thank you for reading this ok so im trying to connect to my wireless ap at school with ndiswrapper, kernel-2.24, and the drivers bcmw15 (Broadcom).
I tried connecting with:
| Code: |
#iwconfig wlan0 essid "100"
and #iwconfig wlan0 essid 100 |
then i tried specifying the freq, and channel options. Got the info from " iwlist wlan0 scan" gave me. That did'nt work so i fiqure it is a problem with the protocol since the schools AP uses 802.11b and my "iwconfig" says i have 802.11G although it should change automatically to the AP's protocol so i tried setting the protocol myself and this is what i got.
| Code: | bash-2.05b# iwconfig wlan0 rate 802.11b
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. |
I know my card has backwards compatibility for 802.11b/g. So as to that I am stumped I searched the forums found nothing maybe someone can help me.
oh and this is the iwlist scan
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Scan completed :
