 |
|
Hi all.
I have this Dell 1450 dual band internal wireless solution (802.11a/b/g) and I installed the ndiswrapper and it all works fine.
So i do
| Code: |
modprobe ndiswrapper
|
Then I did:
| Code: |
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid gezim
|
(gezim is the name of the ssid)
then to check how it was going I did:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
dummy0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
tunl0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"gezim"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:97:93:4C
Bit Rate:54Mb/s Tx-Power:-2147483648 dBm
RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-40 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
bash-2.05b#
|
My question is why doesn't this do it ? what am I missing...and note: thee is no encryption on my router or anything it's all open.
I would really appreciate anyhelp I get.
Thanks,
-Gezim
