DWl 650+ wireless PCI card rh9

**imported_twelves** · 09-26-2003

Hey everyone! I hve been trying to set up my notebook with a DLink DWI 650+ wireless PCI card and am not getting any joy. I have recompiled the biniarys as stated at sourceforge.net and configured the script to my system and this is what I have.

My cards power light is on

When I try to ping a pc in my lan the card even flashes

iwconfig looks like this
wlan0 v0.2.0per2 ESSID:"snowlab"
Mode:Ad-Hoc Channel:9 Cell: 6f:2f:6a:35:dd:67
Encryption key:off (for now!)

Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:23/100 Noise level: 0/100

To me it looks like it should be working especially with link quality and signal level showing values. However everytime I try to ping anywhere on my lan I get no joy.
If anyone can help me ....please do!
thanks in advance

can you paste output from "ifconfig"... Or specificly, we need to check that you
a) have your network card showing there.
b) have a correct IP address (your in the same subnet/mask as other PC's on your network)
c) You dont have a firewall setup blocking ICMP etc (iptables -L )

How is the laptop getting its settings? DHCP or manually set? And is 192.168.0.* the proper subnet (i.e.-same as the rest of the LAN)?

**imported_twelves** · 09-26-2003

sarumont -

DHCP or manually set?
I have the start_net script set to use a static/manual ip.
here is a piece...

IP = 192.168.0.3 - where the rest of my lan is in the same range(192.168.0.*) the router/wireless access point is also 192.168.0.1.
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 - Subnet Mask of the router is the same
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 - the ip address of my router

Am I wrong assuming since: Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:34/100 that I am connected/or atleast recognizing the access point. And if so does this rule out radio problems?

Thanks

dont see anything especially wrong with that, i dont have a clue about the Redhat-fookit stuff though.

When you are trying to ping, you are using the IP and not the hostname of the machine?

J-
I am performing
ping 192.168.0.1 , trtying to get a reply from my access point, with no reply though.

right now I am reading through a forum on
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=257272
however some of this stuff is on ao totaly different level

thanks for the help thus far.

Can you ping other machines on the LAN? Maybe the router is not set up to reply or set up not to reply to pings.
