Hi all,I got an Inellinet wireless PCMCIA card[ 1] for my Compaq Armada M300 running Kubuntu 7.04. While trying to connect to several public networks using either wlassistant or Knetworkmanager, the networks are well recognized but I cannot log in. The connection is always refused. I came across forums and wikis, found myself a little bit lost with this and at the present, I cannot determinate if the problem is related to a) drivers, b) system or c) network configuration. I performed many tests that are too long to be included in this message, but any of them are conclusive. I need some help about how to proceed. I´m pasting two outputs that I got at a friend´d network. $ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. ra0 RT61 Wireless ESSID:"makhtesh" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:CB:FB:83:4A Bit Rate=24 Mb/s RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Link Quality=66/100 Signal level:-69 dBm Noise level:-103 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 $ ifconfig ra0 ra0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:2E:A3:71:49 inet6 addr: fe80::20e:2eff:fea3:7149/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6955 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:328 errors:3 dropped:3 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:45 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:847253 (827.3 KiB) TX bytes:14720 (14.3 KiB) Interrupt:11 Links: [ 1]http://www.intellinet-network.com/html/505314.htm Thanks, Julian
Hi Julian, First thing first; I recommend you go read http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200612/200612.htm#_Is_Linux_Productivity_Magazine_Back_for it will give you a great overview of how wifi works on linux and in general. Secondly, have you tried connecting with this pcmcia card to other networks ? Open ones? WEP encrypted? Perhaps the driver does not support the authentication scheme you're using on your AP ?
