 |
|
I'm trying to get wireless working on my MacBook, but without using WPA. (My router (Netgear MR814v2) only supports WEP, so, as far as I can tell, wpa_supplicant won't help.) I try this:
| Code: | # modprobe ath_pci
# iwconfig ath0 essid <[i]ssid[/i]>
# ifconfig ath0 up
# ping 192.168.0.1 [i]my router[/i]
connect: Network is unreachable
# iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"<my ssid>"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457 GHz Access Point: <MAC address of my router>
Bit Rate: 11 Mb/s Tx-Power:13 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Power Management:off
Link Quality=61/94 Signal level=-34 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
# ifconfig ath0
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <MAC address of my macbook>

I don't know why it's not working; I followed the instructions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup. Any suggestions?
