Hi. I worked through some things with Ehud, but it was inconclusive. I just recompiled using the advice at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-547687.html as far as kernel options, and I did this with the 2.6.22-rc4 patched kernel, and uname -r indeed tells me 2.6.22-rc4_etc. eth1 will scan, picking up several APs, and the command "iwconfig eth1 essid "frank" key blahblahbl", after doing it twice, does cause a valid access point in the output of "ifconfig eth1". The network GUI dialog shows the available ap's, several of them, and shows eth1 as being active and the WEP key is in and everything. Yet the command 'dhclient eth1' still tells me the network is down, and I still cannot access the internet.
Previously I had eth1 up and running, and as soon as I did some stuff with Synaptic (GUI for apt-get), it went down and wouldn't come back. Then I tried sitting next to the box, plugging in to check Ehud's replies and unplugging to test eth1, and after I installed a chess program - nothing else - with Synaptic, then suddenly the ethernet wouldn't work either. I since compiled the kernel with more of the options from the link above, and still nothing. Can anyone help me? Thanks. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com
