I have a Airlink AWLL3026 using the zd1211rw driver. I am using WEP with
a hex key and dhcp client to get a IP number. I can see the device
initializing and connecting to eth1 using dmesg.
I am not using NetworkManager, just the System>Administration>Network gui.
For the life of me I cannot get this adapter to connect and get an IP
number on system start or by itself. In fact the only incantation that
seems to work is to :
1. deactivate the wireless eth1
2. connect and activate the wired lan eth0 to get an IP number
3. deactivate the wired eth0
4. activate eth1 which then says dhcp client is already busy, but now I
have an active working wireless connection???!!
So this tells me that the WEP is correctly set up, but the dchp request
is not working with the wireless eth1.
Any ideas?
