Thank you so much for your reply. Dmesg gives me this output (here is just what is relevant to the card): ****** [4294724.877000] acx100: It looks like you've been coaxed into buying a wireless network card [4294724.877000] acx100: that uses the mysterious ACX100/ACX111 chip from Texas Instruments. [4294724.877000] acx100: You should better have bought e.g. a PRISM(R) chipset b ased card, [4294724.877000] acx100: since that would mean REAL vendor Linux support. [4294724.877000] acx100: Given this info, it's evident that this driver is still EXPERIMENTAL, [4294724.877000] acx100: thus your mileage may vary. Reading README file and/or Craig's HOWTO is [4294724.877000] recommended, visit http://acx100.sf.net in case of further ques tions/discussion.

lspci gives me this (again, just what is relevant): 0000:02:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface Any Ideas? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Esplin Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 2:02 PM To: Newbie Help Subject: Re: [newbies] Wireless and Ubuntu On 3/31/06, Trent Spaulding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > - "ifup wlan0" tries to do something and gives the following output: > sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 > sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 > Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:40:f4:9f:e8:2b > Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:40:f4:9f:e8:2b > Sending on Socket/fallback > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20 > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 > DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 > No DHCPOFFERS received > No working leases in persistent database - sleeping I have never tried this kind of card, but can you see it anywhere with lspci or do you get anything from dmesg? -- Alex Esplin -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
