[gentoo-user] weird behaviour - unable to connect to wireless router
Hi,I been trying to connect my laptop to a wireless router but without success.The router is a common Linksys WRT54G. My pcmcia card is also a Linksys WPC54G.I am now using a new driver (bcm43xx), instead of ndiswrapper, but I think the problem is not from that.

I could almost say I've tried everything.With a ether cable, works fine!And there is other laptop (running windows) connected via wireless to the router without any problem.The following is what shows up in dmesg: SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:12:17:xx:xx:xxSoftMAC: Authentication response received from 00:12:17:xx:xx:xx but did not request authentication.SoftMAC: Authentication response received from 00:12:17:xx:xx:xx but did not request authentication.
