Hello,
I'm running Fedora 9, and I've recently installed ndiswrapper and drivers for a card with the Marvell chipset (it's a Netgear PC Card). The drivers seem to be recognised and in place, but I'm having trouble configuring the card to connect to my router. I have two other wireless devices (one nonfunctional, one that's been borrowed temporarily) installed, so I changed the "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" setting to wlan2. I'm not sure whether this is what's causing complications
Here's the output of dmesg:
[Niko@localhost ~]$ dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
ndiswrapper: driver mrv8335 (Marvell,02/22/2005,3.1.1.7) loaded
ndiswrapper: using IRQ 16
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper: changing interface name from 'wlan1' to 'wlan2'
Configuring the card through the Network utility doesn't affect what iw- or ifconfig saw: I]ESSID:off/any[/I] and Access Point: Not-Associated. I changed that with iwconfig, and the output's:
wlan2 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"baileycharm" Nickname:"localhost"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:30:F1:FF:97:76
Bit Rate=36 Mb/s Sensitivity=-200 dBm
RTS thr=2346 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key: [HEX KEY] Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality:39/100 Signal level:-71 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But when I try to set it as active through system-config-network, it comes back with: "Determining IP information for wlan2... failed; no link present. Check cable?"
Pinging 192.168.2.1 comes back with "connect: Network is unreachable"
If anyone's got any suggestions, they'd be much appreciated. Either way, thanks for taking the time to look at this.
Nikki.
