Hi group,
I posted the following at the sysrescuecd forum but I despair of ever getting a
worthwhile answer:
I've got a tripleE 900A with 4G SSHD running Xandros and I want to use the
sysrescueCD to install gentoo. But I have to be able to use the wifi
driver(ATH5K). There's no problem connecting from Xandros but when I boot the
USB key with rescueCD I cannot connect.
When the USB key boots one of the messages that flies past is "Setting up
network". No, it doesn't, unless it means ethernet, which I don't have access
to. When boot is finished I'm told to run net-setup. OK, I run
Code:
cat /proc/net/wireless
and find I'm using wanl0 and run net-setup which finds the right driver OK.
Then I run
Code:
iwlist wanl0 scan
and it finds the wifi. So I use the info it finds, essid, channel etc in
iwconfig eg
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Hot-spot name"
and so forth.
I've tried it at several places which are open and require no key. And at my
own place where a key is required.
But it does no good I can't even ping a URL.
Can anybody help? I hate Xandros, it reminds me of Win98!
