Hey,
I have an interesting situtation now.
My Wireless Card: Xircom 340 Series 802.11b
Notebook: Dell Latitude
OS : current Fedora , earlier was RH9
Alright,
In RH 9 no drivers for this card were available, so I
had to download the drivers from CISCO which sometimes
used to work. When I installed Fedora, I had not to
install any drivers and it was working fine. But
something happened, and my wireless connection stopped
working. I messed around for so many days and again
and again had to reboot machine and deleted all
wireless connections except eth0.
Now it works again. Well but this is working at home
where I dont require any authentication.
When I will go to the University, where I require
authentication, I am sure it will not work. I dont
know why. If I make a new Wireless Connection, the
icon on my panel shows WIFI strength 70% but I am not
able to configure my machine somehow.
Can someone tell me some command line arguments to do
that.
I am also sending my dmesg messages to show whats
going on.
Currently I have only one device eth0 active in my
network configuration.
Thanks
Dont!
