Hi everyone
I have just try to install my wifi card (module ipw2200) with the excellent howto of the wiki, but I am still unable to connect to any access point. In fact if i give him an ESSID the card is still unable to find the mac address of this access point. The nic stays in the state unassociated 
| Code: |
eth1 unassociated ESSID:"Wanadoo_e729"
Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
|
but it can find it if I use
What does it mean?
Please help me
Thank in advance
Logan |

What if you specify the actual MAC address of the AP?
| Code: | | iwconfig eth1 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx |
Where the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address of your AP.

Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon
