 Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2005 5:39 pm Post subject: ath0 error / button error?? |
 |
|
I have trying to install my wireless nic fore awile now!
So my question is why dosen't the ath0 work.
My laptop is a: HP Pavilion ze2000 amd sempron 2800+
lspci |grep Network:
| Code: |
0000:05:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) |
What I think is the problem here is that I have a button to activate the card and so on. When I use it in windows it is a blue light how tell me if it's on or not.
But when I try it in linux this buttom dont work, I have tryed to se if it's give me a keycode with "xev" but it's totaly dead!
So is this my problem why I cant find my wlan card.
Someone how can guid me to activate this button in linux or away to get around it, so I can use my wlan.
Thanks

Should I rest my case or what 
I think I have read all the threads about wlan in this forum, I have tryed diffrent things like ndiswrapper and some other things. When I modprobe I'll get no errors but I cant start ath0 it's not there and yes I have symlinked it to net.lo ...
But I really think there's no power to the interface because of my "button"
This is what I think is the error that I cant see my wlan card.
But there must be some kind of workaround or something (I hope)
Tnx

And this is my /etc/conf.d/net:

essid_wlan0="xxx" |
And this is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0

ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="xxx"
