Wireless letworking
Hi, I have an orinoco wireless netcard and installed the module, tools, pcmcia installation, kernel configuratione And the card is recognized by cardmgr, so no problems around here. I configured network.opts so that it reads the interfaces file and in interfaces i made eth1 with an ip and everything. When the card is online, i can ping to it's own address, that's working. But in the config.opts where i have to insert the parameters for the encryption etc... I put in all the data i *think* that is necessary for here and i thought that it should be possible to ping to other hosts via the wireless netcard at that point. But this is not working, can't ping to other hosts. How can i complete my configuration ? Or where can i get more information ? Grtz!

I have never used config.opts for that sort of thing, I have always just configured the card using /etc/network/interfaces and up statements. Have you tried using iwconfig manually to set the essid/mode/channel etc? Here's an example of the config stanza I use for my wireless card (a prism2/orinoco card). iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.150.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.150.1 up iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc essid roach channel 5 up cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.wlan.bak up cp /etc/resolv.conf.wlan /etc/resolv.conf down cp /etc/resolv.conf.wlan.bak /etc/resolv.conf broadcast 192.168.150.255 network 192.168.150.0 You can ignore the resolv.conf stuff of course -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That means that you don't need to use the up clause but can write things like: iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.150.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.150.1 essid roach See man interfaces for more details.
