Hi All,
Greetings. I am on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL 5.5 x86_64) same as
Redhat 5.5. I must use OEL5.5 because of my software installation
requirements. NetworkManager detects my ssid but its just not getting
ip from my router assigned. I use a Belkin 54g router with WPA/WPA2
encryption. The other options available on my router are WPA2 only,
WEP and Disabled. I have spent more than 20 hours trying to get wifi
working but no luck. Your help is highly appreciated.
