still wifi problems

**flaczki** · 11-18-2004

i have 10.1 and i also installed madwifi driver for my wireless card.......everything seems ok. "ifconfig" shows ath0 as my card. "iwconfig" shows it also.....but when i use wireless-tools commands to access AP, nothing happens. i can't get IP from the router and when i scan using "iwlist ath0 scan" i'm getting that nothing was found.
Any ideas?

Code:

ifconfig ath0 up
dhclient ath0

did that and it wouldnt help......it says no DHCPOFFERS received

**lakerdonald** · 11-19-2004

do you have one of those 192.168.x.x networks?

**flaczki** · 11-19-2004

yes. and i thiink problem lies with linux cuz under win2k i have no problem connecting with AP and connect to internet

**lakerdonald** · 11-19-2004

okay:

Code:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100

replacing 192.168.0.100 with your ip address

i did that and then i tried dhclient ath0 but it didn't work. other thing: I just noticed that there's warning that i'm getting while running dhclient:

sit0: unknown hardware adress type 775

and when i do "iwconfig" i;m getting:

lo: no wireless extensions
eth0: no wireless extensions
sit0: no wireless extensions
ath0: "whole bunch of parameters"

what's sit0????

**lakerdonald** · 11-19-2004

no, do the ifconfig instead of dhclient

**flaczki** · 11-19-2004

no difference

**lakerdonald** · 11-19-2004

so when you do:

Code:

ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100
ping google.com

what does it say?
