Hello all,
I'd appreciate some help troubleshooting my wireless connection.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L305 series laptop running Debian
sid with a recent, stock Debian kernel version 2.6.29-2-486.
$ lspci | grep Atheros
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
I am seeking to connect to a D-Link 614+ wireless router.
For initial testing, the AP is unencrypted, unsecured.
My wife's G3 i-Book with AfterTheMac USB wireless adapter
connected just fine, on the first try.
I believe I have the modules I should have:
$ lsmod | grep 80211
mac80211 139680 1 ath5k
cfg80211 21576 2 ath5k,mac80211
My wireless network interface is present:
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
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
$ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:63:82:82:40
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
However, I don't find the D-Link 614+:
$ iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
And of course, dhclient fails to find a server.
Am I missing something? What could I try next?
I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks.
