 |

Hey
I am using ndiswrapper to get my Netgear WG311v3 wlan card working.
Installation etc. worked fine, but I cannot assign an essid to the card and no APs are shown..
| Code: | | iwconfig wlan0 essid foo |
returns nothing (well, I think this is normal), but nothing happens, too...
If I type "iwconfig" to get the overview of my cards wlan0 still has no essid and there is something like "not associated" at the AP info. What can I do? The access point is there. Using the card with windows works (it finds the AP) and I made no physically changes like changing the AP's location.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/wireless
| Code: |
preferred_aps=( "foo" )
#mode_wlan0="managed"
#config_wlan0=( "192.168.178.22 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
#routes_wlan0=( "192.168.178.1" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
essid_wlan0="foo"
mode_wlan0="auto"
channel_wlan0="13"
|
Maybe it is a problem that I use a WDS with 2 routers? I have only poor connection to the first one so I use a Repeater to get a better connection. Or it's something else... I am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for all hints/tips!

Well I still have no solution for this problem, but I think it has something to do with the configuration, to be more precise: I cannot set some important options.
I installed a tool called wifi-radar. Sometimes I see following error in the console:
| Code: | Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. |
I also recieve this message when I want so set certain options like:
| Code: |
iwconfig wlan0 frag off
|
Maybe now somebody can help?  |

| Ok, I managed to fix my problem. It turns out that the signal was simply to weak. I tried placing the AP right next to the computer, and everything worked like a charm. |

Well, changing the APs position does not change anything. Yesterday I googled like 2 hours for a solution, but found nothing!
That is pretty anoying. I tried to install a different ndiswrapper version and took another driver, but nothing worked... |

| I'm using the madwifi driver (no ndiswrap). http://madwifi.org/ there is a short tutorial on getting up and running. |
