This relates to the youngster I am trying to help get into Linux
and get networking going. I reported earlier we are using the
Netgear WPN311 wireless PCI card. Here is what lspci -vn -d 168c:
reports:
00:0c.0 0200: 168c:ff16 (rev 01)
Flags: busmaster, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ11
memory at e41200000 (32 bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64k]
Capabilities: [44] Power management version 6
00:0c.1 0700: 168c:ff96 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: 168c:ec96
Flags: busmaster, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ16
I/O ports at d400 [size=8]
memory at e4131000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [44] Power management version 0 [size=4k]
Kernel driver in use serial
(above subject to possible errors in reading my writing instead of
writing it to something machine-readable that I can carry around)
This time we got things closer to working.
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan showed a whole bunch of access point in the
neighborhood, including the one in his house. so we did
iwconfig wlan0 essid <the essid of his router>
and then got dhclient started and we seemed to be connected, as
shown by iwconfig wlan0 However we didn't have a default route
and couldn't ping anywhere. There was an entry made in /etc/resolv.conf
of 192.168.2.0
Then I tried my laptop, which also has ath5k, and it came up and
associated with his router, but again no ability to ping anywhere.
So I tried associating my laptop with one of the other access points
in the neighborhood and it all worked. The one that worked has a
linksys router. The one that does not work is a Belkin router.
However his machine does work under Windows with the Belkin router.
So I guess there is something in the way the Belkin router is configured
that is not fully working with Linux.
Also tried to associate his machine with the linksys router access
point but the signal was just too weak.
