Hi,
I'm trying to use wireless access with a Asus WL-100 pcmcia wireless
card. The card is detected and works in the system (Debian Etch beta2).
When I insert the card the hostap driver is activated. I then changed
the driver default wireless parameters with:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid "ANY" rate auto
and running iwconfig again shown the card connect to an AP in the range.
My problems begin when I try to get a IP address, because the dhclient
keeps reporting network down everytime it send a package. After that
the interface desapears from ifconfig, and iwconfig reports the
interface has no wireless extensions.
Any ideas?
Thank you all,
Antonio
Try the steps in
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/InstallDebianSarge
ie:
11. Check that interface is available.
iwconfig
12. Set essid replace mylan with essid set up on AP.
iwconfig wlan0 essid mylan
13. Check for Access Point AP
iwlist wlan0 scan
14. Set mode
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
15. Set WEP encryption
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted XXXXXXXX
16. Take down any existing ethernet hardwired interface. Other
interfaces seem to cause a conflict and prevent the wireless interface
from working properly.
ifdown eth0
17. Bring up wireless interface
ifup wlan0
Note: If it complains about unknown interface wlan0, edit
/etc/network/interfaces to include an entry for wlan0 mirroring eth0
18. Test the interface. Replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP of your AP - the
gateway.
ping 192.168.1.1
19. Make ISP's nameservers are available. Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add
a nameserver line for each of your ISP's nameservers.
search
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
20. Test nameservers
ping google.co.uk
If this doesn't work, post the results of commands/errors here.
Hth,
Chris
