| Dear list I setup my internal AirPort Extreme wireless card using the "script" shown below. I am, however, unable to send/receive e-mail or bring up web pages. Some details and diagnostics: # modprobe ieee80211softmac # modprobe bcm43xx # ifconfig eth1 up # ip link set eth1 up # ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:24:a2:d2:5d UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:10 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:52 Base address:0x8000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1593 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1593 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1973874 (1.8 MiB) TX bytes:1973874 (1.8 MiB) # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.

Q2: I cannot bring up a webpage in Firefox. I get a "Server not found" error. Why? Comment: I cannot log out after this. I was obliged to disconnect the laptop battery in order to reboot. Any ideas on why the wireless connection is still not working. Thanks in advance. E |
