Re: After I get the ipw2200 up...

[Alexander Sukhodolsky <umdsasha@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wish I could tell you it worked, but even though I followed what you said and created wireless.sh and so on, still nothing--it runs and shows up in iwconfig as connected to that, but still can't ping.  Also, just for info, Network Configuration gets stuck on trying to get IP and then says it's unable to connect--any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

So I followed Justin Conover's ipw2200 how-to (very easy) and got my
wireless adapter to be recognized under the new fc5 test2 (i used the
newest firmware, though).  But now I'm having problems actually
connecting.  Basically, I went with what I know--kwifimanager and also
system-config-network.  The system-config-network shows my wireless card
and I try to set up a connection but nothing.  Now with kwifimanager, it
shows all the ssid's of networks around and I set up in the
configuration my network, and its corresponding password, and it does
connect, but firefox shows nothing.  Any ideas?

Also--I tried networkmanager, including running the services
(serviceconf) and running it, but to no avail--/usr/bin doesnt seem to
have NetworkManagerInfo or something.  Any ideas?  Anyone else have
these problems in the new fc5 test2?

Thanks,
Alex

If you see the device from /sbin/iwconfig

/sbin/iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      unassociated  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00  
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm  
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

For example I just have a little script in my users $HOME

$ cat wireless.sh
#!/bin/bash
/bin/su -c "/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid YOURACCESSPOINT key YOURKEY && /sbin/dhclient eth1 && /sbin/ifconfig eth1"

just chmod +x and sh wireless.sh as your user and should be up.

Just realized I should test out NetworkManager when I get home tonight :)
