wireless card setup problems
Hi i am trying to setup wifi with ipw0 network card, i have the correct firmware driver installed, a dmesg | grep ipw0 shows the adaptor i can scan for wifi networks and see the network i want to connect to, i can add to /etc/hostname.ipw0 the following config:
dhcp nwid mynetwork wpakey mykey but when i try and ping my router i get no route to host. dhclient ipw0 says: ipw0: no link .... sleeping when i look at my ifconfig i have: ipw0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:04:23:74:f4:ee index 2 pritority 4 llprio 3 groups:wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS11 mode 11b) status: active etc any help would be great |

Can you do this before dhcpclient ?
Code:
# ifconfig ipw0 nwid "mynetwork" wpakey "PASSWORD" |

See this section of the FAQ. The "dhcp" statement in your hostname.ipw0 file must be by itself, and follow after setting the nwid and wpakey.
