iface wlan0 inet manual address 192.168.0.200 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.10 wireless-essid baby wireless-mode managed wireless-key s:XXXX But I still couldn't see any IP with "ifconfig" wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:4 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1668 (1.6 KiB) TX bytes:1344 (1.3 KiB) However, with "iwconfig" it looked like the card is associated with my AP wlan0 802.11b/g NIC ESSID:"baby" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Retry:off RTS thr=2432 B Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=20/100 Signal level=-128 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:4 Missed beacon:0 Just now I found that there is no "Tx-power" from the result of running "iwconfig". Is that normal? Also, I got such thing from "dmesg" just after I run "ifup wlan0" Just Update WEP key HashInsert macAddr = data [6]: 00 0f 3d 29 2e b3 zd1211:STA_ASSOCIATED with 00:00:00:00:00:00 <<-- this is exactly what I copy Bf RF ON: 9561911 After RF ON: 9561911 zd1211:Switch to Infra mode zd1211:Mixed Mode keybuf data [5]: 00 00 00 00 00 zd1211:WEP64 Mode Update CardSetting zd1211:Mixed Mode zd1211:Mixed Mode zd1211:STA_ASSOCIATED with <<<My AP MAC address>> zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b03 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b09 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b1d zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b27 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b03 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b09 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b1d <<---- aren't they repeating "03" "09" "1d" "27"???? zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b27 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b03 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b09 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b1d zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b27 zd1211:Mixed Mode zd1211:STA_ASSOCIATED with <<My AP MAC address>> <<-------- this line returned periodically zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b03 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b09 zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b1d zd1211:zd1205: cmd = 8b27 jw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
