[fedora core 2 | 2.6.6 | ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1] Hi, since I requested some help for my latter problem and someone draw my attention on the fact that I hadn't compiled wireless support into my kernel as I had presumed, I have tried some things, and some of them work, some of then don't. I've set up the device with redhat's system-config-network which automates iwconfig, ifconfig and route configuration. If I would try to setup the device and activate it immeadiately, I would get either 1 or 2 error messages: 1. If I'd want to use WEP encryption, (i.e if I enter a WEP key into the appropriate field), I'd get: "Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument." and the device won't work. 2. If I don't enter a WEP key and disable it on my router, I only get the error message about the frequency, but it won't work either. Now the strange, but good, thing is, that If I don't set a WEP key and boot my system, the wlan card will be set up fine and function. Note that it doesn't if I set a WEP key. (then it only tries to connect but fails) "lan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:4b:1b:55:e8 using driver bcmwl5.sys ndiswrapper: Buggy ndis driver trying to use unintilized spinlock. Trying to recover...ok. wlan0: adding wep key 0 failed (C0010015)" (dmesg) Another strange thing, that may have nothing to do with the driver, is that my card gets another IP from my router than the one I fixed for it's MAC address. I set the card to use 192.168.0.3, but instead the router shows my card with 192.168.0.2 under "Attached Devices". I don't understand how this is possible? Furthermore, I set up port forwarding on my router for that IP address, but that doesn't seem to work either. Has anybody ever experienced anything similar and could help me out here? Thanks, David |

It's not a SMP kernel, I've compiled it myself, do you wish to see the .config? I will try the patch and tell you if there are any changes to it or not.

Well, yes, it is set. That was my initial problem, but I recompiled the kernel and enabled wireless support. Else I wouldn't be able to get up a connection, would I? :) After applying the patch and compiling, I got the following warning which had also been there before patching: "/home/kwisatz/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/driver/ndis.c: In Funktion >>NdisMSynchronizeWithInterrupt<<: /home/kwisatz/ndiswrapper-0.8-rc1/driver/ndis.c:1318: Warnung: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code " Now with the patch, I still get the same error message about setting the frequency when activating the device with system-config-network, but it works, the link is up and I am connected to the Internet. " Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. " However setting a WEP still doesn't work. Not with the system running, nor while bootup.: " Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. " and " wlan0: no IPv6 routers present wlan0: setting configuration failed (00010003) wlan0: adding wep key 0 failed (C0010015) " maybe this has something to do with ipv6? I didn't set anything special in my kernel config for ipv6 though.
