Hi I had this wireless card(Hawking somemodel) working on the same machine 4 months back under redhat with linux-wlan-ng. So I tried to configure it on the gentoo system. I think I have got most of the pieces togather... only some small (mostly gentoo specific) detail that I am missing.
Here is the activity on the /var/log/everything/current as I insert the card in pcmcia slot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] socket 0: Bromax OEM 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card (Prism 2.5) Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] executing: 'modprobe prism2_cs' Feb 19 22:26:37 [kernel] init_module: prism2_cs.o: 0.1.16-pre8 Loaded Feb 19 22:26:37 [kernel] prism2_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 10, io 0x0100-0x013f Feb 19 22:26:37 [/etc/hotplug/net.agent] how do I bring interfaces up on this distro? Feb 19 22:26:37 [/etc/hotplug/net.agent] register event not handled Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] executing: './wlan-ng start wlan0' Feb 19 22:26:37 [kernel] ident: nic h/w: id=0x800c 1.0.0 Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] + message=dot11req_mibset Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] + mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=false Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] + resultcode=success Feb 19 22:26:37 [cardmgr] + ./network: line 28: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0: No such file or directory Feb 19 22:26:38 [kernel] linkstatus=CONNECTED ---------------------------------------------------------------------- but ifconfig shows only eth0 and lo interfaces. I dont have a /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 file but the README with the package doesnt say anything about that file. Also when I do /etc/init.d/wlan start .. I get -------------------------------------------------- Starting WLAN Devices:message=dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=false resultcode=success -------------------------------------------------- Also as I was typing this mail I saw some activity on the /var/log/everything/current... might provide some info... ----------------------------------------------------------- Feb 19 22:26:38 [kernel] linkstatus=CONNECTED Feb 19 22:33:29 [kernel] linkstatus=AP_OUTOFRANGE (unhandled) Feb 19 22:33:29 [kernel] linkstatus=AP_INRANGE (unhandled) Feb 19 22:33:29 [kernel] linkstatus=DISCONNECTED (unhandled) Feb 19 22:33:31 [kernel] linkstatus=CONNECTED ----------------------------------------------------------- Anybody have any idea about this?
