Ben, Not sure if this is any help, but I get a similar iwconfig error message. I cannot set my ESSID via iwconfig either. Instead, I use the Linux-WLAN modules. ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/
I use linux-wlan-ng-0.1.16-pre9.tar.gz as 0.2.0 seemed to be broken with my setup. For me atleast, this will work fine to setup the card. I still use iwconfig for things such as checking link strength, but setting things doesn't seem to work. Note, I run a LINKSYS WPC11 card, so this may or may not even help, but its worth a try if you have not explored this option. Good luck, -Mark On Tue, 08 Apr 2003 16:16:32 +0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi! > > I have recently installed debian woody on my laptop (getting fed up with > redhat..!) > I am trying to set up my enterasys wireless card (802.11DS) to connect to my > network, the kernel was compiled with pcmcia, orinoco & hermes. > > when I type in iwconfig I get a message saying that the module was compiled > with version 12 (I presume orinoco and/or hermes) but the iwconfig program is > using version 15 and that things may be broken.. and they are! > > I cannot set my ESSID. > > when I try and apt-get the latest pcmcia-cs the message returns that I have > the latest version installed and am a bit confused as to which direction I > should be heading. > > Any suggestions/hints? > > Ben > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
