 |
|
hi,
i have some trouble with my wireless laptop using a "Gigabyte WI01HT" wlan adapter.
At the university we use an unencrypted wlan with vpn.
I can successfully establish a connection with the following commands:
| Code: |
iwconfig ath0 essid bonnet
ifconfig ath0 up
dhcpcd ath0
vpnc
|
This will work for a while, but i get randomly disconnected without any message...
I tried stopping the vpn and pinging the vpn-server, but since this does not work, i think the problem is with the wlan connection itself.
When i run iwconfig afterwards it shows "not-associated", but i don't know why this happens...
| Code: |
iwconfig
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"bonnet"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: not-associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power=16 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=49/94 Signal level=-46 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:154924 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
|
Can anybody help me with this? Or does anyone have similiar issues? Is it the madwifi driver or a problem with the ap?
I have everything related to WLAN/WEP compiled as a module.
thx for any help!
greetings,
strowi

If you look at the site of madwifi.org you'll find similar post like yours. They provide you with patches for it too.
As far as I can see it's indeed your wlan and not the vpn that's the problem.

Just go to the homepage of madwifi.org and type in the search-box on the top right of the screen: not-associated
And read the threads that come up
