Hi there
I can't get my Wireless Card running and have no idea what's going wrong. Maybe
you have an idea.
So, let's get started.
My hardware:
It's a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400 notebook with an Intel Pro Wireless 2100 PCI
Adapter. It is controlled by a software killswitch. I'm also running the actual
gentoo-kernel (2.6.11-r11)
| Code: |
doomed / # lspci | grep Wireless
0000:02:06.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)
|
I emerged the driver (net-/wireless/ipw2100-1.1.0) and the firmware
(net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware-1.3). Also i downloaded the fsam7400 module from
http://zwobbl.homelinux.net/pub/ , compiled and installed it to take care of the
killswitch. All requiered crypographic algorithm are compiled into the kernel.
so, I load the fsam7400 module and deactivate the killswitch. The fsam7400 loads
automatically the ipw2100 module and its dependencies.

It looks like the Driver is loaded successfully and the radio is running. At
least the fsam7400 and the ipw2100 tells me that the killswitch is off.
Now i assign an ESSID and a key for the WEP encryption with iwconfig and an
ip-Adress to the card. Finally i bring it up.

After assigning an essid and a key to the device, it appears with the MAC-Adress
with the status Associated on the Station List on my Acces Point. The "invalid
Misc" stats are increasing. After a ping on my router, which says "Destination
Host Unreachable" the ifconfig output changes:

so, the card is running, (recieving and sending). It is associated with my AP.
If i turn off WEP encryption on card and AP, the same thing. Associated, but no
connection.
hope somone can help me
