Network problems...again...


Recommended Posts

Hello,

As soon as Mandrake 10 Community Edition was released, I downloaded it and tested it. Everything (in general) went quite fine, and I was able to go online.

Because of some elements that bothered me quite a lot, and quite many bugs, I decided to go back to MDK9.2 .

Everyting's running fine, but I can't go online any longer. I own an Acer Travelmate 803LCib (Centrino), and I'm online using the wireless Intel 2100 Pro card.

When running Mandrake 10 I got online using ndiswrapper. Now I tried the same, but I don't succeed to make a connection. :(

I installed all dhcp-packages available on the MDK9.2 3CD-set, ndiswrapper 0.5, wireless tools (mdk-cd).

ndiswrapper 0.5

----------------------------

Everything went fine. Status OK. When I do modprobe ndiswrapper, wlan led goes on.

iwconfig

----------

I'm able to set WEP-key and SSID. No problem.

ifconfig

---------

Bringing up interface wlan0: no problem

dhclient

----------

Problems in some script...? I just don't know what to change to make it work...

Can anyone tell me what I have to do/change to get a connection?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I searched a bit further... and I found there are also other dhcp-programs around.

So I installed pump....

Instead of dhclient wlan0 I did pump -i wlan0 and within a second my connection was established :D

Greetz,

Slike (using MDK9.2 now, till the Official version of Mandrake 10)
