Hi Matt,
This is the exactly the same config I have in my office eveyday, it works for me without problem. Can you show the
output of:
# ifconfig -a
# route -n
To further troubshoot you should have enable serial console in ALIX box in
order to see what happens.
Regards,
Punky

Hi
I am having some wifi problems with an Alix board and an athereos wifi mini PCI
card. I have voyage mpd 7.7.0 on the alix. I have the board running no problem
through ethernet, and the wifi card scans (see iwlist below). Also when I run
nmap on my network I get the ethernet connection showing and another address
that I assume is the wifi connection. I can ssh into the wifi address (at least
I assume it is the wifi address), but when I disconnect the ethernet cable my
connection through the wifi address is disabled. Does anyone have any insight
into what is going on here? I would like to have this alix board supply my DAC
and connect to my Arch Server through wifi - i do not want to have to have an
ethernet cable permenently connected to the board. I have tried booting the
board up with out an Ethernet cable connected, and nmap shows no new connection
onto my network. Any help is appreciated.
I have attached some information below. Let me know if I should supply any more
information.
Regards,
Matt
