Hey guys this is a repeat post from the Generals section since I posted in the wrong section.. =)

Can you guys help me out?


I installed Fedora Core 2 early this week and I am having trouble getting my Intel Pro 2011 wireless PCMCIA card to work with it. It's built on a Compaq 1800T laptop.
Because I am writing this on my WINDOWS box, I can only generally tell you how its setup. Fedora picked up the card as a coronico_cs card.
When I type: cardctl ident.
It displays the correct information about the card. So it's definitley reading it.
Because I setup the IP address statically. When I type: iwconfig
I get the appropriate information regarding the setup of the card: (ie: ip addr, gateway..)
I can also ping itself. The IP is set to 192.168.10.6. So pinging that IP returns the correct results. I disabled WEP on my Linksys just to narrow down the troubleshooting.
The light on the card blinks because its looking for an AP and makes a little sound. That sound(when I had WindowsXP on it) is the same sound when its looking for an AP. So I know its trying to do its job.
But upon further diagnosis, the MAC address of the AP shows up as 0's. So its definitley not even able to contact it...

I know you guys like to get full description of the actual config so I will setup my Fedora box with its other built in ethernet card that WORKS. So I can come back here and paste any configs you may ask about.

Sorry for the long introduction and question. I just hope someone can help me out because I dont feel like blowing this out as I would like to stick with one "linux" and learn it well.

Thanks all!!!
