Hi, First, thanks so much for working on this!! I am quite excited that I might actually get my wireless going. Details, just got a Dell inspiron 5150 with the Dell TrueMobile 1300 (or maybe it is the 1400, hmmm) which supposedly has a Broadcom 4301 chip. I ran through the INSTALL information and most things seemed to work, but I can't seem to get wlan0 up. At step 8, I did the $ ifconfig wlan0 up and it seemed to like that, when I do an ifconfig after I get... wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:6E:CE:B4 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:2736 (2.6 Kb) Interrupt:11 Memory:faffc000-faffdfff (plus eth0 and lo) I then tried a ifup wlan0 and got... ifup wlan0 Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device. Determining IP information for wlan0... failed. Can anyone help me? Any info on how I can track down the problem. The only thing I am not sure about is I am using kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl (from fedora core 1). The website does say it should be minimum 2.4.23, but other posts to the list do talk about 2.4.22. I used driver 2 from the webpage line: Broadcom 94306 driver1 <http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/softwareDownloadIndex.jhtml?reg=&cc=us&softitem=hb-17787-1&prodId=hppavilion385145&lc=en&plc=&sw_lang=en&pagetype=software>,driver2 <http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R65194.EXE>,driver3 <http://downloads.emachines.com/network/Broadcom_80211g_3_20_23_0.zip> Any ideas on what I could be missing? (or other info needed to diagnose it?) Thanks, Craig |
