 |
|
Hi,
I've just install slack 12.1 (kernel 2.6.27.5-smp) on my HP
Compaq nx6330 laptop. The buid-in wireless adaptor is Intel
Pro/Wireless 3945ABG.
I've tried to configure it in my usual way: edit in the
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file.
IFNAME[5]="wlan1"
IPADDR[5]="... ..."
NETMASK[5]="......"
WLAN_ESSID[5]="my-ap-name"
WLAN_MODE[5]=Manage
WLAN_Rate[5]="54M auto"
WLAN_CHANNEL[5]="auto"
WLAN_KEY[5]="**********"
USE_DHCP[5]="no"
But this did not work.. The 'iwconfig' returns:
wlan1 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"my-ap-name"
MODE:Managed Frequence:2.412GHZ Accesss Point: Not-
Associated ...
As I know, if it works, the Access Point field will be hardware
address of my AP router.
So, I hope that experts in this group may be kind to tell me how to
setup this card in my system.
Thanks in adance.

You do not assign an IP address and you also have DHCP off, so no
matter what, you are not going to get to that access point. At least
at first, try assigning a valid static IP.
Why do you think this is wlan1 rather than eth1 or wlan0 or whatever?
What does /etc/udev/75WHATEVERnet say? (Sorry about the filename, but
the box I have this set up on is in for repair.) Read your logs to
see what ethernet devices are loaded and in what order, as well as
their names.
For what it is worth, my Intel wireless NIC becomes eth0 on a "clean"
boot (no aliases in /etc/modules.conf; all files deleted from
/etc/udev).

I just editted the initial /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf like:
IFNAME[4]="wlan0"
#IPADDR[4]=""
#NETMASK[4]=""
USE_DHCP[4]="yes"
#DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]="icculus-wireless"
#DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[4]="yes"
#DHCP_KEEPNTP[4]="yes"
#DHCP_KEEPGW[4]="yes"
#DHCP_IPADDR[4]=""
#WLAN_ESSID[4]=BARRIER05
#WLAN_MODE[4]=Managed
##WLAN_RATE[4]="54M auto"
##WLAN_CHANNEL[4]="auto"
##WLAN_KEY[4]="D5AD1F04ACF048EC2D0B1C80C7"
##WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="set AuthMode=WPAPSK | set EncrypType=TKIP | set
WPAPSK=96389dc66eaf7e6efd5b5523ae43c7925ff4df2f8b7099495192d44a774fda16"
#WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant"
#WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="ndiswrapper"
Actually, I uncommented just two lines. Then I use 'dhclient wlan0' to
get the ip address from APs.
It works only when the wireless signal is strong.
iwl3945 in the kernel is not as good as ipw3945 I installed manually
before. |
