<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your help here. I will
check to see if I can see the MAC of the AP when I do the iwconfig
command. The FAQ also suggests that one disable WEP as a test, and also
turn on the broadcast of the SSID (both of these I use today for security
reasons) I will try your suggestions here, and also try to disable the
security and reenable things one at a time. If I am getting the AP MAC,
does that mean it is more a routing issue? I'm assuming that if I do not
have one there are many issues it could be. I believe that there should
not be any issues with WEP on this card (TI Chipset), are you aware of
any? If I can get the testing done this weekend, and I'm still not
successful I will send you the dump of the diags from Driverloader.

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know how to use TCPDUMP, but if the issue
is not being able to connect to the AP are there other Wireless testing tools to
see where things are failing? Does the wireless card or driverloader log
the connection and where it maybe failing?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The support you have given in the past was
super so I did not want to trouble you anymore. It will be my last
resort.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi,<BR><BR>if you want to connect to an access point, you should
set the Mode to<BR>'Managed' instead of 'Auto' or 'Ad-Hoc'. If you are currently
associated<BR>(connected) to an access point, you will see the MAC address of
the<BR>access point in the output of the 'iwconfig' command. You can also use
a<BR>tool such as ethereal or tcpdump to see what is being sent and
received<BR>with the wireless interface. This information might help you
correctly<BR>configure the wireless interface.<BR><BR>If you require more
assistance, please send at support@linuxant.com the<BR>output of 'dumpdiag'.
Type the following in a root shell:<BR><BR>---<BR>dldrconfig
--dumpdiag<BR>---<BR><BR>Just send us the generated file located in
/tmp<BR>('driverloaderdiag.txt'). It'll help us solve the
problem.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR><BR>Jonathan<BR>Technical specialist /

wrote:<BR>> This is my first port to this list. I posted a similar
question on the FedoraForum.org site with no response. Here is what I
have. We just moved into a new home that does not have ant wire
connections. The machine (server) I had in the past was connected to a
wired network (etho). After the move, I bought and installed a Netgear
WG311 (Version2) in to the Fedora system. After working with Linuxant
support I was able to get the web utility to see the card and install the
drivers (latest from the web) for the card. I can see the card as eth1
when I do an ifconfig, and I can also see all the details when I do an
iwconfig. The ESSID and the WEP keys are correct, and I also checked the
setting on a different (laptop with wireless) setup. I believe it is set
to Ad-Hoc and Auto for the speed. I have tried to force it to 11mb or 54mb
and neither worked. When I issue the route command, I see that all of my
routes are set for eth1 (wireless) interface. If I do a ping of t<BR>he
wireless gateway I get the error message about the network is not
available. The machine is set with a static IP, the same that the now
disabled eth0 (wired) had. I also made sure that SELINUX is
disabled.<BR>> <BR>> Can anyone recommend or suggest any testing
tools or other means that I can find where the connection is not being
made? The AP is a Motorola Surfboard 900 (cable/wireless unit), and the
NICs MAC and address are correctly configured on the AP.<BR>> <BR>>
Comments or suggestions? I'm not sure of all the things one can do from a
troubleshooting perspective via iwconfig. I have only used it to make temp
changes in the past. The card is also seen in the Fedora Network
Configuration tool, and all of the settings appear to be correct there
also.<BR>> <BR>> Scott Brown<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>
