wireless up and down

[flaviomoura]

Hi,

I found a wireless network in my department but some thing is wrong with the connection. If I ping I get:

wcflavio flavio # ping caju
PING caju (164.41.38.131) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from caju (164.41.38.131): icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=45.4 ms

--- caju ping statistics ---
76 packets transmitted, 2 received, 97% packet loss, time 75047ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 20.752/33.101/45.450/12.349 ms

So the wireless conection goes up and down continuously...


I use ifplugd (and it works perfectly for eth0) and my /etc/conf.d/net file is:

modules=( "ifconfig" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )

my /etc/conf.d/wireless is as follows:
essid_eth1="default"
mode_eth1="master"
channel_eth1="6"

If I type iwlist eth1 scan, I get:
wcflavio flavio # iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:80:C8:2A:5E:94
ESSID:"default"

I'll be very pleased if someone could help me to connect this wireless correctly.

Best regards,

Flavio.
