that worked! thanks so much!
I did have an encrypted network but when I unencrypted it, I was able to connect.
Is there any way to program a config file so that I am still able to encrypt my wireless and have it work properly?
thanks again!

| Post subject: | D-Link g510 wireless card |
I have set up my knoppmyth box with a d-link g-510 wireless card in it, but I can't get it working. The system detects it because when I run lspci I can see it in the list of pci cards. (it has the atheros chipset) I have messed around a little bit with ndiswrappers but I can't seem to get it to work. Is there any sort of walkthrough out there that deals with this card? I have read about some problems people have had I just haven't been able to apply their solutions to get mine to work. if any of you have got it to work, or seen a solution out there that is based in knoppmyth or debian please help! thanks in advance. my specs are: Pentium 4 1.5 ghz 512 mb RAM 120 GB western digital HD Hauppauge PVR 250 geForce 5200 I am running knoppmyth R5A30.1 |

Are you running security on your access point? I'm not it's wide open and this is what I do with a g520 which is pretty much the same card, with atheros chipset. To test it, at a command line I enter Code: ifconfig ath0 up And then Code: dhclient3 ath0 It should come back and tell you that it picked up an IP Adress from your router. If everything is good and you can ping google and get a response - then I go to the Interfaces file and set it in there. Code: nano /etc/network/interfaces And add ath0 where it says "Auto" as I only want wireless, I replace the line for eth0 (onboard NIC) with ath0. Hit Ctrl+x to save the file (make sure your root) and reboot. It should now grab a dhcp address on your wirelss nic and you're in business.[/code] |

You sure can.... where did I put those instructions.... Try this in your /etc/network/interfaces config file: Code: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface # automatically added when upgrading auto lo ath0 iface lo inet loopback iface ath0 inet dhcp wireless_key YOUR_KEY_GOES_HERE wireless_mode managed wireless_essid "default" Let me know if that works for you. You'll probably have to change the essid form "default" to whatever you named your Access Point. |

Does anyone know how i can get the same card to work, but with a RaLink chipset? They have drivers o their side(i think) but i dont know how to use them. Tried ndiswrapper and it found the hardware but i cant get a DHCP ip. And even if i assign a ip it wont work. "iwlist scanning" works though, so it is not completely dead. Just dont seem to want to talk with anyone. |
