Oronico PCMCIA card *almost* working

Hi Everyone,

I think I'm close with this problem. I actually had it working, but then rebooted and it didn't work after that. I'm not sure what went awry, but I'm hoping it's just something little.

Here's the situation. PCMCIA starts up, and I get two (good) beeps. I bring up eth1 and it starts okay - comes up. If I run ifconfig it shows up in that list. It shows that it got an IP address from the DHCP server also. If I run iwconfig I see that it discovered the right ESSID (I'm just using the out of the box wireless.opts file - no changes).

Problem is - I can't ping anything. Networking doesn't seem to be working. The only real networking "stuff" I configured was setting

iface_eth1="dhcp"

in the /etc/conf.d/net file.

I do have a gateway, but I can't even ping it. I also am not sure if I need to add more to the /etc/conf.d/net file for this interface. The gateway for eth0 is set to "eth0/192.168.0.1"... I'm not sure if eth1 needs a gateway also.

Any ideas? I have lights blinking, I feel like I'm close... just not quite there.

Thanks!
Tom

Try stopping eth0. That sometimes happens for me - the routing gets messed up and it tries to route all data through the wire rather than the air. Usually shutting down eth0 does the trick.

if you are using eth1 then you must have another NIC? maybe trying using the wireless card alone will help
