Hello All,
I have posted this before, but haven't found an answer yet. Wireless
is the only connection possible for this system due to physical
restraints so I kinda need to get it going.
I am running ubuntu 5.04 on a Gateway Profile 2.
The only thing I can't seem to get configured is my Wireless card.
I have 2 possible cards I can choose from
3Com PCMCIA (3CRPAG175)
Linksys Dual Band A+G (WPC55AG)
For the 3COM ...
under SYSTEM>ADMINISTRATION>NETWORKING the card is listed and the
station says "The interface ath0 is active." I have put in my ESSID
and my 128 bit encryption key. The card is blinking and looks like it
is trying to do something. But I cannot connect to the Internet or any
local resource.
The output of iwconfig Shows my Access Point MAC address as
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (which we all know is incorrect).
I cannot turn off the encryption on the access point, since I am at
work and that would be too risky.
'dmesg' shows
IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
ath0: no IPv6 routers present
My router is running DHCP and all internal IPs are 10.1.1.?
I am stuck. What should my next troubleshooting step be? Where can I
go for more info on how to solve this?
