The router is a Linksys WRT54G model. So my questions are... 1. Any suggestions on how I can avoid the kernel panic when I do "ifconfig wlan0.11 up"? What information should I provide so that someone can help me with that? I have xmon enabled in my kernel and I can post the relevant information. 2. Is my wireless card really working if I replace "ifconfig wlan0.11 up" with "ifconfig wlan0 up"? I have also tried the softmac-bcm43xx approach, but without success. The softmac spews out errors complaining that it cannot associate without authenticating and forever tries to authenticate with the router. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECT
Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
Thanks. I will try waiting a few minutes after setting up the connection. Your delays when running route or netstat could be a DNS lookup failure. Try "netstat -rn" which will not try to translate IP addresses to names. Ruben wrote: > At Tue, 10 Jan 2006 21:51:36 +1100, Aaron wrote: > >>Still no joy.

That's the DNS lookup timeout for your default route - use route -n or make sure the AP IP address resolves (add it to your local DNS cache or /etc/hosts).

Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
I have been trying to compile more recent snapshots with a fresh 2.6.15 kernel. I have been side-tracked by a driver compile problem around an declared value: include/linux/skbuff.h:1209: error: ‘KM_SKB_DATA_SOFTIRQ’ undeclared (first use in this function) KM_SKB_DATA_SOFTIRQ is in a linux header for powerpc but not ppc. After adding a sprinkling of arch=powerpc (to my kernel builds) this error has gone away although I am not sure exactly how I fixed it (too many changes and not testing often enough). I have successfully compiled the 20060107 snapshots of ieeesoftmac and bcm43xx and will test after work tonight (about 6 hours from now) as I do not have an open wireless network at my place of work.

Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
No such logs on the AP. It just shows me attached dhcp clients and websites accessed. My iBook is not listed as an attached DHCP client. My other debian laptop (x86) and my wifes laptop (Wintel abomination) both use the AP via DHCP so I am pretty sure there is not a problem there. The Access Point is configured to broadcast ESSID and not support WEP or WPA. Thanks for trying to help, Aaron.

Re: Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
The extra line you have is the route for all traffic NOT on the local network and so it should not change ping-ing the router on the same network. Just to be sure I have added a default route (to my AP/router) the same as your settings. Alas, this does not seem to have made any difference. At first I suspected that I had missed something basic but now I fear that have found a more difficlut to find problem. If someone doesn't point out where I have stuffed up I will resort to systematic trail-and-error with all settings (wireless channel, essid, etc.) just in case there is an obscure bug I can identify.

Trouble getting bcm43xx driver to work
I am close to having the bcm43xx driver working but I am now stuck and could really do with some pointers. THE SHORT VERSION: 1. I have successfully built and installed bcm43xx, ieee80211softmac and bcm43xx-fwcutter (one error extracting firmware file bcm43xx_microcode11.fw). These are the latest daily snapshots (20060102) 2. I can manually "ifconfig ethX up" the wireless interface and see my very open wireless network with "iwlist ethX scan". 3. SoftMac seems to associate (from dmesg output). 4. dhclient ethX fails to get an IP address but I can manually set an IP address (in the correct range) with ifconfig. 5. I can not ping my wireless AP/router. Ping returns "Destination Host Unreachable" even though my route table looks OK: "Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.73.0* 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2" Does anyone have any ideas, pointers or RTFMs?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
