Did you set the ESSID with iwconfig?
Hi, Florian! Yes, I did. I typed iwconfig wlan0 essid "Juanja". Doesn't get an
ip.
The output of "iwlist wlan0 scan"
in your first message showed that your access point hides its ESSID.
Yes, it does. `Invalid' is the right word.
I
think this means that it will only accept connections from clients which
know the secret ESSID before they connect.
Yes, it seems so. I do `iwconfig wlan0 essid "Juanja" and then
`dhclient wlan0'. The subject message appears :-(
Also, check the output of "iwconfig wlan0": Is the ESSID set correctly,
does it display the MAC address of the right access point?
debian:~# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"Broadcom 4310"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.484 Ghz Access Point: Invalid
Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=19 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalidmisc:0 Missed beacon:0
If the above is all OK then it might be a problem with dhclient. There
are two DHCP client packages in Debian, "dhcp-client" and
"dhcp3-client". Make sure to try it with both of them.
I apt-get installed dhcp3-client. How do I invoke it?
