Hi folks , I`m running IBM R50p with an integrated IBM min-pci Atheros based card , and Mandrake 10 ( 2.6.3-4mdkenterprise ) I compiled and inserted the modules as said in the README, After bringing the interface ath0 up ,the system can see the interface , here is the ifconfig on ath0 : ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:4E:46:56:41 inet6 addr: fe80::205:4eff:fe46:5641/64 Scope:Link <---- Where is the inet ( ipv4 ) ???

The labtop LCD indicating wireless connection is also blinking , So after these observations I thought that I'm really close . But the problem is that I cant get an IP address !!!

Hi, Why don't you try adding the following lines to the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0. If it isn't present create one. DEVICE=ath0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Wireless IPV6INIT=no MODE=Managed ESSID= RATE=Auto USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no Set the ESSID to the ESSID of your AP. Then restart the network interfaces by typing: /etc/init.d/network restart. This setting worked for me. Thanks, Rithin.

Hi folks , I`ve got it !!! I have my wireless connection on , All I needed In fact was the correct /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 file after i run : iwconfig atho essid MYESSID then dhclient ah0 and done , Many thanks for your help . -- Saber.

It should be simple to type only ifup ath0 and then if you have the ifcfg-ath0 well configured everything is done.

Hi Saber, First of all, I'm going to assume that one of those three access points you referred to in your message below is yours. If it isn't, you should talk to the person who owns the access point to ensure that they'll let you use it. They may have to give you their encryption key and/or put your MAC address in their MAC access control list. Do 'iwconfig ath0' and ensure that you're connected to your Access Point. You can do this by checking: 1) Your ESSID is what it should be 2) The MAC address is not FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 3) The link quality is not 0/94 For further troubleshooting, the output of 'iwlist ath0 scan' should tell you the ESSIDs of your local Acess Points, as well as if they are encrypted or not. PS: if you do own the access point, check that: 1) Either encryption is off or you're using the right key/slot 2) You have no MAC access control list 3) You have a DHCP server on your wireless network Cheers, Josh -- Saber zrelli wrote: > Hi folks , > I`m running IBM R50p with an integrated IBM min-pci Atheros based card , > and Mandrake 10 ( 2.6.3-4mdkenterprise > I compiled and inserted the modules as said in the README, After > bringing the interface ath0 up ,the system can see the interface , > here is the ifconfig on ath0 : > > ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:4E:46:56:41 > inet6 addr: fe80::205:4eff:fe46:5641/64 Scope:Link <---- > Where is the inet ( ipv4 ) ??? > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:77 errors:11841 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:11841 > TX packets:15 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:199 > RX bytes:25164 (24.5 Kb) TX bytes:4856 (4.7 Kb) > Interrupt:11 Memory:f8c3c000-f8c4c000 > > > > and i also runned some statics tools , I also got some results , but > honestly I couldn't have any interpretation . > > The labtop LCD indicating wireless connection is also blinking , > > So after these observations I thought that I'm really close .
