Post subject:  R5D1 D-Link ath0 problems

Since installing R5D1 I can't seem to get my wireless DLink to confugure. It worked under previous releases.

When I run iwconfig it says:

Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 20
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 17.
Some things may be broken...

ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"DianaGrace"

sit0 no wireless extensions.

And when I configure it (with or without WEP, as I dropped WEP to see if I could get it to work in the clear) it doesn't see the AP or associate.

Has anyone else seen this or gotten their DLINK card to work on R5D1?

Thanks!

Stupid mistake on my part.

The AP in my in-laws house is 802.11b 11Mbps only, and I copied over my config from home with runs at 802.11g.

THe problem was me forcing the 54 Mbps. I turned the speed to auto and all is well.

Back to installing R5D1.

Sorry for the false report.
