Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.4+svn20060306-1
Severity: important
Hi,
until yesterday I used debian/sarge with a self-build wlan-ng (upstream) in
order to get my NETGEAR MA111 working. Everything worked mostly fine for over
1.5 years until I decided to give etch a try. I noticed that etch comes with
linux-wlan-ng so I tried this one.
I build the modules, the firmware, installed everything bug it does not work
any more! I know this device is supported by upstream so I guess the problem
lies somewhere in the debian version.
Trying to bring wlan0 up via ifup gives many errors like this
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06):
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
Similar errors for "Set Encode", "Set Frequency" and "Set Essid".
The kernel modules are loaded and wlan0 is visible via iwconfig, but only with
essid set and nothing more!
Regards,
Bastian
