I'm trying to help a youngster get into Linux. The system is Fedora 8
with all the current updates, kernel is 2.6.24.3-50. The wi-fi
hardware is Netgear WPN311. The router in his house is Belkin
something-or-other. We got it to come up under Windows 2000.
The ath5k module gets loaded and creates wlan0 . I've used
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scanning and it reports the essid of the Belkin, as
well as several others in the neighborhood
iwconfig wlan0 essid "<what the iwlist reported>"
and then dhclient wlan0 and it seems to try but not to get a
connection.
What should we be doing or trying? (or should we go back to madwifi?)
