The first problem seems to be that you're in 802.11a. I'm assuming you want b or g... what are standard are you trying to connect with? I'm assuming not 802.11a, since as your scan results show, there are no 802.11a networks around you. Do "iwpriv ath0 mode 3" if you want 802.11g, "iwpriv ath0 mode 2" if you want 802.11b ... you can also do "iwpriv ath0 mode auto" if you want to try to auto detect. After that, then try and scan and let us know. - George > Morpheus:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. > > wifi0 no wireless extensions. > > ath0 IEEE 802.11a ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.32 GHz Access > Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 > Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power > Management:off Link Quality=0/94 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 > dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive > retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 > > eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. > > > Morpheus:~# ifconfig ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr > 00:0F:B5:3E:2E:3A inet6 addr: fe80::20f:b5ff:fe3e:2e3a/64 Scope:Link UP > BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 > dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 > carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) > > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:03:C7:2A:6D <SNIPSNAP> > > lo Link encap:Local Loopback <SNIPSNAP> > > wifi0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:B5:3E:2E:3A inet6 addr: > fe80::20f:b5ff:fe3e:2e3a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST > MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX > packets:226 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 > txqueuelen:199 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:9532 (9.3 KiB) Interrupt:10 > Memory:c8b00000-c8b10000 > >> give us the output if ifconfig and iwconfig >> >> - George >> >> >>> My WLAN card does not connect to the router i have. followed the >>> Newbie HowTo and it all worked like described until i started to scan >>> >>> Morpheus:/usr/src/madwifi-ng# wlanconfig ath0 list scan gives me no >>> output whatsoever only a new prompt >>> >>> Morpheus:/usr/src/madwifi-ng# iwlist ath0 scan" gives me the >>> following output "ath0 No scan results" >>> >>> So no ESSID comes up. and no connection makeable.. >>> >>> >>> with Windows XP it works like a charm so the hardware is able to >>> cummunicate with each other >>> >>> tested the following sources to compile current svn madwifi-ng >>> madwifi-old source package supplied by ftp.au.debian.org madwifi-ng >>> source supplied by debian.tu-bs.de madwifi-old package from debian >>> contrib >>> >>> Have tried Debian stable/testing/unstable in combination with usable >>> packages above but none working >>> >>> System specs: IBM Thinkpad 600x (oldie but works :) well almost) >>> Netgear WAG511v2 Router Linksys WAG54G (currently firmware 1.03) >>> (channel 11/ Encryption none/SSID poliwap) >>> >>> >>> Current OS Debian Testing Kernel debian package 2.6.15-8 >>> >>> LSPCI OUTPUT 0000:06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros >>> Communications, Inc.
