I have a Zyxel wireless AP (ZyAIR B-1000 v.2) in master mode using a WEP key which DHCP's for the wireless network. It connects through a switch to my ADSL modem. It runs fine and all Windows computers that I have (both my girl friend's and my own Dell if running on Windows Vista) get IP addresses and can reacht the internet (just as the rest of my (non-wireless) network). My Dell Vostro 1700 (again which gets to the internet using the wireless described before if running Windows Vista) runs Debian Lenny 2.6.22-2-amd64 SMP (newest version of all available software). It has a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless network card. I have installed the wireless-tools 29~pre22-1, ipw3945-modules-2.6.22-2-amd64, ipw3945d, wifi-radar 1.9.7-3, libsmbios* 1.13.10-1 and network-manager-(gnome) 0.6.5-1. The card is recognized and I can see all wifi networks in my building if I use wifi-radar, so that does not seem to be the problem. But whatever I do I do not seem to be able to get an IP address from the AP. Not if I use the NetworkManager, or if I use the wifi-radar application I once (1 time) had the network working (very slowly but working) but I cannot reproduce that anymore. If I use tcpdump or wireshark I see the DHCP request leave the machine. I have even seen Wdinows NetBIOS broad cast appear from my wired network on the wifi network card.... After a while the NetworkManager asks me for a _WEP_ key: I fill in the right one (yes, I really do) but that does not help. All I want is that my wireless works, with OR without the NetworkManager (preferably because I want to use both my wired and my wirelass card at the same time, but I settle for just the wifi card for now) .
