 |
|
Hi,
I have a Belkin54g WiFi card configured with ndiswrapper and connected to a Linksys router taht was working until I upgraded kernel and ndiswrapper.
Since then the card does not connect anymore at boot; instead I receive, after some "Driver for Wlan0 has been compiled with version 21....", a "Couldn't associate with any access points on Wlan0 failed to configure wireless for wlan0".
The weird part is that if I log in as root and do "cd/etc/init.d" and "./net.wlan0 start", the network starts correctly!!!
Do you have an idea on why this happens?
this is my /etc/conf.d/net:
| Quote: |
modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
sleep_scan_wlan0="1"
associate_timeout_wlan0="25"
key_XX_XXXX="s:XXXXXXXXXXXX"
preferred_aps=( "XX_XXXX" )
associate_order=( "preferredonly" )
|
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Adalberto

I managed to solve the issue by switching from iwconfig to wpa_supplicant.
A funny thing is that the network starts when I use the wext driver.
Using ndiswrapper does not allow me to connect to the Access Point (I have a Belkin F5D7000 card and was using the suggested Dell drivers).
Anyway, as long as it works well!
