Networking problem in Linux


Recommended Posts

Here is the situation...

I have a lappy with a admtek 8201 chipset wifi cardbus. I have succesfully installed the drivers, and the wifi utilities. It is even detected by the other machine (w2k, which acts as a server and router).

The problem is networking does not work....

I ran ethereal and apparently the card is stuck asking who has the ip of the router, with no reply. I have manually told arp about the mac address, but to no avail.

Nevertheless, every once and then, I get the message from the w2k machine broadcasting it is available as computer browser. So obviously there is "wireless connection"...

I am running mandrake 9.2

any suggestions?
