 |
|
Hi folks!
I have a problem with my smc2802W card. Everthing works... but not fine.. i have a Connection Speed of 1 MBit/s and i think usualy it must run with 54 MBit/s... When i configure the WLan with static ip's the ration is changing everytime between 1 and 54 MBit/s ang dies after a while...
The output of iwconfig changes from:
| Code: |
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"router" Nickname:"router"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:01:E3:41:2C:D2

Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:166/0 Signal level:-85 dBm Noise level:-254 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

over (or something like that):
| Code: |
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"router" Nickname:"router"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:01:E3:41:2C:D2

| Code: |
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g Nickname:"router"

when i configure eth1 with dhcp it only looks like this:
| Code: |
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"router" Nickname:"router"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:01:E3:41:2C:D2

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

this is what i get when i start net.eth1:
| Code: |
makana codein # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart
/etc/conf.d/net: line 2: net.*: command not found
* Stopping eth1
* Bringing down eth1
* Stopping dhcpcd on eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Shutting down eth1 ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth1
* Configuring wireless network for eth1
Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 18
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 17.
Some things may be broken...
* eth1 connected to "router" at 00:01:E3:41:2C:D2
* in managed mode (WEP disabled)
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ]
* eth1 received address 192.168.1.2
|
Mybe its this message? I thinked that when the driver has some features which are not supported of the programm cases no trouble, but i can be wrong... It is definitly not the problem of the router...
has somebody an idea?
codein
EDIT: i have relized that i can access just gentoo.org and kde-look.org... (that are websites i know that they where loaded) that is really crazy  , or

for the warning while starting the interface you can patch the kernel with version 18 of wireless extensions.. I think this is not related to your problme though, but here you can get the patch
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/iw_we18-5.diff
to apply it copy it in /usr/src/linux and run
| Code: |
cat iw_we18-5.diff | patch -p1
|
then recompile kernel and driver in order.. |

| the warning message must disappera by applieng the patcg and recompile the kernel and the module! As I said, I don't really think it's the reason for your problem, but if you still get the error message while stating the interface something went wrong.. |

Hi,
The messages tells you that the version in the driver is newer than the one of the userspace tools.
I've solved those messages by emerging a new version of the wireless-tools package. The version I'm currently using is net-wireless/wireless-tools-28_pre10. For this to happen, I had to add the package to /etc/portage/package.keywords. Whether this would solve your connection problems with your AP remains a question...
