[Ndiswrapper-general] Cannot set ESSID on WMP300N
|
From: Cam E. <ca...@el...> - 2006-11-22 21:33:20

I just purchased a Linksys WMP300N PCI card, and installed the latest
ndiswrapper (1.28). It will accept a key, mode, etc., but I still
cannot get it to accept the ESSID.
For the record, this machine runs Debian testing/unstable, and has a
2.6.18.1 kernel with the default 8K stack (meaning I have not set it to
4). The board is an Asus A7N8X.
I did uninstall followed by make distclean, make DEBUG=3, and make
DEBUG=3 install. Then:
# ndiswrapper -i /opt/WMP300N_20060511/Drivers/bcmwl5.inf
installing bcmwl5 ...
forcing parameter IBSSGMode from 0 to 2
# ndiswrapper -l
installed drivers:
bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4329) present
depmod -a produced no errors, and modprobe ndiswrapper seemed to work OK:
# lsmod | grep ndis
ndiswrapper 216272 0
Dmesg is not useful, being incomplete. Here are some of the contents of
/var/log/messages:

The output that follows this is very lengthy, but it appears to consist
mostly of setting up the various parameters. I hesitate to add any more
to this message, but will report on specific items if anyone has questions.
At any rate, the driver is loaded:
# cat ./messages | grep ndis | grep driver | grep loaded

WEP; TKIP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK; AES/CCMP with WPA, WPA2, WPA2PSK
but:

wlan0 No scan results
Throughout this, the LED on the card flashes once per second - I don't
know whether this means anything.
# iwconfig wlan0 essid ellisonpsychology
There is no response on the console to this. /var/log/messages contains:

But this has no effect on the scan:
# iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
iwconfig shows no ESSID:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any

Obviously, setting a restricted key works (actual key replaced by xxxx).
Trying to set ESSID after that produces the same output as above.
Still no scan results.
What am I missing?
