Argonaut Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
