Hey, ive elected to go with the wpa_supplicant solution for wireless internet. But i cannot seem to get it working. I have a D-Link gw120 USB card. And i have built the prism drivers into the kernel (im pretty sure  ). Though im not exactly sure what i should do next. Here are my files. and some outputs:
| Code: | Zer0- ~ # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions. |
/etc/conf.d/net (im not sure what to do with this file)
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts
# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
#iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#iface_eth1="207.170.82.202 broadcast 207.0.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0"
# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"
# For passing options to dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?
#
#iface_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_eth0="..."
iface_eth0="dhcp"
# For adding aliases to a interface
#
#alias_eth0="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.4"
# NB: The next is only used for aliases.
#
# To add a custom netmask/broadcast address to created aliases,
# uncomment and change accordingly. Leave commented to assign
# defaults for that interface.
#
#broadcast_eth0="192.168.0.255 192.168.0.255"
#netmask_eth0="255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0"
# For setting the default gateway
#
#gateway="eth0/192.168.0.1"
|
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ap_scan=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="MacsHouse"
key_mgmt=NONE
}

I'm pretty new to linux (VERY new to wireless, its always been wired), so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot,
Andrew

Hello,
It almost looks like no wireless cards where found. I would try to get the wireless card working with WEP first, then you can be certain the correct drivers are being used. Once it works with WEP, move to WPA.
You could also try a liveCD like Knoppix or Kanotix and see if it detects your wireless card and what drivers or modules it's using.
The command lspci will show all the pci devices connected, it may help you find out which drivers you need.
I got my wireless card working by searching google for "linux acx100", you could also try searching for "linux xxx" (replacing xxx with information from lspci)
It usualy ends up being something simple, keep at it.

| The prism driver in the kernel does not work with USB devices. You will either need to go the Ndiswrapper route or get the developmental USB prism driver. With Ndiswrapper you will need a Winodws driver. The one on the CD that came with the device should work fine. The wireless card will show up as wlan0 with Ndiswrapper so change your net file accordingly. |
