Both rc release fails to scan networks on my Intel ipw2200 using both w22n51 and w29n51 drivers, where 0.12, same configuration using w22n51 (w29n51 isn't supported), does the trick. Buginfo attached. Another thing. w29n51 driver for ipw2200 installs too many .conf files so loadndisdriver fails. I had to clean up config directory deleting some PCI Ids to have it work fine. -- http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE >> Hi!

Well, it would help if you explain what is the problem with w29n51 is. Other than that ndiswrapper can't deal with too many conf files, you don't say what is the problem. But then you say that was resolved: Michael> had the same problem, but this was resolved easily. If scanning is the problem, do iwconfig wlan0 power off and scan again. If that doesn't work, do iwpriv wlan0 ndis_reset and scan again. Then report which works. Current CVS can deal with as many conf files as necessary, so you don't need to remove unnecessary conf files. In fact, you can install any number of drivers you want, and only the ones actually necessary for the cards present in the system will it load a driver on-demand. As CVS log says, you need to reinstall Windows drivers with current CVS (after installing ndiswrapper). -- Giri |

But scanning and associating to my ap does not work at all. Maybe the radio is not turned on correcly by ndiswrapper. -- /============================================================\ | Michael Weissenbacher <web...@de...> | | http://www.dermichi.com/ | | <Deek> nopcode: No, it isn't.

Maybe the > radio is not turned on correcly by ndiswrapper. Do you have broadcasting SSID on? I still use ndiswrapper 0.12 with wpa and it works only when I broadcast SSID, using driver 8.1.1.0. Nothing else worked for me, I didn't tried the last version, but rc1 didn't worked for me. |

Yeah, OpenVPN is what I use. I go one step further and use Quagga for OSPF routing, too. Same IP address wherever I roam. Works nicely. |

Same here with an Intel 2100 (Acer Travelmate 290). 0.12 works without any problems, 1.0 and even the latest tarball doesn't. Ifconig and iwconfig shows a working interface, but no ping etc. is possible, no error messages in the logs. Greetings Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:ju...@ju...

There was 2 problems : . too many conf. files for w29n51, but that can be solve manually cleaning conf. files . scanning not working with 1.0rc1 or 1.0rc2, whether driver is w22n51 or w29n51 For me, the scanning definitly is the problem.. > If scanning is the problem, do > iwconfig wlan0 power off > and scan again.

I don't have a wireless access point under reach for now, but I will try as soon as possible (probably tomorrow). Thanks so much for helping, and sorry for the misunderstanding. --=20 http://www.netexit.com/~sid/ PGP KeyID: 157E98EE FingerPrint: FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE >> Hi!

Note that wpa_supplicant has support for stations that don't broadcast SSID (with ap_scan=2). Note also that broadcasting SSID is not as much security risk as some seem to believe. Any association information sent from the card to the router can be seen by a sniffer. There was a mail from Jouni Malinen a few weeks ago on hostap mailing list with more details. -- Giri |
