Thanks for your suggestions! Joel Ok, You are using the new interface and I am using the old one. The setup of /etc/network/interfaces may have changed so yours may be correct. Below is what I have used for a few years but it may be obsolete now. I suggest you go to the madwifi site http://www.madwifi.org and read up on everything there. They have complete instructions on the new interface. In the old version there are two interfaces created, wlan0 and ath0. The ath0 interface is the one that is used, not the wlan0. I am not aware if that has changed in the new version. ie: auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp pre-up wlanconfig ath0 destroy pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wifi0 wlanmode sta pre-up ifconfig ath0 mtu 1492 pre-up iwconfig ath0 mode Managed post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy Hope this helps.

Googled til I about to shoot myself as I don't know/understand all the rhetoric. I just need to know the brand, model, chipset of a linux compatable adapter so I can get on with the setup. Don't do wireless myself, but maybe I can point out some links?

Re: REPOST: DSL/Networking Help
You don't specify how you will be using the wireless adapter -- PCI in a desktop, pcmcia, (?). At any rate, this first link is pcmcia-only, and was updated last just after linux-2.6.8 was released (the kernel used in Sarge): http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS This page has a *great* overview of how to setup wireless networking in a linux environment, and also has good links to compatible hardware: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/wmp11-linux.htm#_Toc98941662 Also, this page has listings of both pcmcia and pci wireless card, and even links to Amazon to buy the hardware: http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz Good luck chance On Sun, 2006-03-12 at 07:42 -0800, Leonard Chatagnier wrote: Reposting for no response.

I know about ndiswrappers but don't have windoze XP. You do not need Windoze to use ndiswrapper - you just need the Windows driver from the card manufacturer's CD or website. Ndiswrapper uses Linux to run the Windows driver! Ndiswrapper is for a PC card/PCMCIA wifi card which are normally only used by laptops.

Thanks There are some notes about seting up a modem/router here: http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Broadband_-_setting_up_an_ethernet_ADSL_modem/router They are normally configured using a web browser. You need to connect to it by ethernet cable to configure it. Modem/routers often have up to 4 ethernet ports as well as wifi. Alternatively, you could configure the modem/router from a Windows PC using the setup CD, then add your Linux box(es) to the network. Your modem/router documentation will explain how to set up the wireless side of things on the modem/router. The ndiswrapper InstallDebianSarge article explains how to set up the Linux side of the network. I am afraid that I do not have any experience of using PCI or USB wifi interfaces with Linux.

Title: RE: Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please You need to set up a little gateway for your home, use debian and iptables, make sure to install debian with kernel 2.4 to use iptables. This will let you share your internet connection with all your pc at home. You can take an old crap machine to get this function work or your debian box. On each computer you need one network card and maybe another depending on your dsl settings. Precise if your using adsl with usb or Ethernet. I hope I helped a little.

Re: Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please
they work fine with DSL, just network the rest of the computers together with a 10BaseT network card, get some Cat5 cable and the DSL router. plug the cables from the computers into the back of the router and the DSL modem also into the back and you should be off and running. Linksys make a good router that does NAT, firewalling (basic) port forwarding and so forth all set-up the your web browser. Should work fine for what it is you want to do.

DSL router and networking - Help!
I have just signed up for a wires-only adsl account with Eclipse internet in the UK. For those of you not from the UK, wires-only has only recently been introduced here and involves the telecoms company (BT) switching on ADSL at the exchange. The user is required to purchase the modem and microfilters for each extension in the house. I will have one static IP address. Today I received confirmation that the account has been set up and will go live on Monday. I have ordered an Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro single-port adsl router - DSLSource have just reduced the price to 138 quid + VAT, and given neither SEG nor Solwise have their alternatives in stock I feel I have a bargain. Anyway, I currently have two PCs networked and an NTL cable modem (connected to the Linux box) which will be sent back asap. One machine runs Linux, the other Windows. I use Samba on the Linux box so that the Windows machine can print to the Linux printers, and squidso that the Windows machine can access web sites. In my Linux PC I have two network cards. One card is connected to thecable modem, the other to a small 4 port Netgear hub. When I get the SpeedTouch Pro I intend removing the second card on the Linux box since the STP can be plugged into my hub.

Thanks for any help you can give me! Yours, Simon It's been my experience that when installing Debian I don't worry about the dynamic IP addressing at that point; instead, I just pick a safe IP address and plug it in temporarily during the network setup. Later, after the base install, I go back and add dhcpd (the client is dhcpd; the server is dhcp (I believe)). This dhcpd client will allow your client PC to pick up dynamic IPs from your campus network, including such things as subnet masks and gateways, etc. I've never had to deal with IPX/SPX, so I don't know what's involved there, but I do believe it is a supported protocol on Linux, so maybe someone else has some info on it. As far as NetBEUI goes, I believe you'll find smbfs[x] (x for kernel versions greater than 2.1.70 I believe; non-x for previous kernel versions) to be what you want. I believe you'll need to recompile your kernel so that it has support for Microsoft lanman shares (WFW, Win95, etc); I'm not sure exactly what it's called, but I think you'll recognize it when you see it. If you've never compiled a kernel before, it can be a daunting thought, but it gets easier with experience. After getting that support compiled into your kernel and rebooting, you'll need to install the smbfs[x] package. You don't need the Samba packages; that allows you to turn your Linux box into a Wwindows-style server (for example, if you wanted to share your printer or files to Windows clients). smbfs[x] to be a Windows client; Samba to be a Windows server.
Clueless Newbie needs Networking Help
Hello. I'm pretty new to Debian and have been unable to get my network configured properly. You see, in a couple days, I will be heading off to University of Waterloo (Canada) and will want to hook up to their residence's network. The only problem is, they've given me settings that theoretically working for flavours of Windows, but those settings seem to be dodgy when it comes to the Debian installation programme (dbootstrap). Now I've sifted through various HOWTO's and I still haven't figured it out yet. Perhaps someone could help me. Here is the information I have: My host name: (Whatever I bloody please) Domain name: uwaterloo.ca My IP address: Obtain IP address automatically My netmask: Well, in Windows, once Obtain IP address automatically is selected, one doesn't have to enter a subnet mask... My broadcast address: Unknown. (I assume that the default should be okay.) Gateway address: None. My DNS server: None. As far as Windows services and protocols are concerned, they want me to start up: Client for Microsoft Networks, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, and TCP/IP. I'm using an ISA D-Link DE250CT card, but I think I've successfully loaded up the module as dmesg | more, shows it detecting the right IRQ and the I/O address I gave it. Thanks for any help you can give me! Yours, Simon

I pulled everything out of my machine but the video card and the nic and the nic still wouldn't work. Usually I wouldn't have asked the mailing list about such a simple thing, but this has me baffled. Do you, or anyone else, know of anything else to try to get my nic working correctly?

I have been having problems getting my Debian box to talk to my internal
network at all, and I'm stumped as to why. None of the how-to's have
helped at all. The configuration should be working and I know the ether
card works because I've used it before. I can ping my box from itself,
but I can't ping any machine on the network, and no machine can ping mine.
Route gives this:

my ether card, but I'm not sure if that means anything or not. Can anyone
