Hi Matt,
You can do a simple test. The problem may be that you have both eth0
and ath0 using the same subnet. When you connect, even you specifiy IP
192.168.1.31, it may still use eth0 for communication. I have not
expert in networking, probably someone can point this out.
It is better if you have serial console for troubleshoot. Then comment
"auto eth0" to see what happen in your wireless interface.
# auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Hi Punky
I have attached the output from running the commands you recommended.
#ifconfig -a
#route -n.
I didn't know what you meant by the serial console so I googled it. Tommorow I
will try to get a cable and enable it and let you know.
Thanx again,
Matt

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.

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
