wifi (for broadband Internet) worked briefly on my Etch (and the double booted
Windows XP Prof)
and soon vanished from Etch. My attempts to revive it have failed abominably.
Machine is DELL INSPIRON 6400 laptop, with Intel 3945 ABG v 10.1.0.13 Network
controller
found by lspci (as is Broadcom Corp BCM-4401-B0 ethernet device)
lsmod finds 'intel agp' and 'eth 1394' (plus the usual many I don't recognise
AT ALL).
The DSL-Router device is Zycom P660HW-T1 which continues to work OK on ethernet
and wifi
for the Windows OS
My great problem is that I do not seem able to find out what to do to make
iwconfig able
to recognise the ZyXEL device and do its stuff! I am obviously missing the
preliminary stages.
It would seem that Etch did all the preliminaries originally, ready to spring
to life as soon as I
removed the ethernet cable after doing the ZyXEL initial settings.
Any help on how to tackle things will be greatly appreciated - I would much
rather let Win sleep out
the century, but am severely hampered with a "tethered only" internet access !!
