Hello, Trying to show that we could use Linux in our chool, I am trying to connect a machine per wifi to a rather Macintosh oriented network.
I know I can connect from a (PC) laptop running Mac OS, and the Linux machine is so far that I know the card works and I can see the network. It's an open network (no wep) as the students should be able to connect as well. The problem is that I don't get an IP, and it seems I don't get the access point either (both are probably linked). If I run net-setup it fonds the card and configures it by simply asking if i use DHCP, but that info obviously is not enough. I very nood when it comes to DHCP, as my local network uses fixed IP and I had no problem connecting to it with the same machine. I've found a lot of infos as to how to tell which channel or which network I want to connect to, but I can't solve this "no IP, no AP" problem. If anyone can give me a hint I'd be glad.
