I've just manged to install sidux (2008.01) on an 8-year-old notebook with a pcmcia-wlan-chipset called rtl8180. This thingy works with module rtl8180 (who'd think of that...), but the chipset fails to associate with my wlan-ap. Authentication works though, here's the output of dmesg:
Code:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2
wlan0: RX authentication from 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2
wlan0: associate with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2
wlan0: associate with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2
wlan0: association with AP 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2 timed out
wlan0: authentication frame received from 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2, but not in authenticate state - ignored
wlan0: association frame received from 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2, but not in associate state - ignored
wlan0: association frame received from 00:01:e3:08:4c:d2, but not in associate state - ignored
This happens multiple times. The association frames come some later than the bunch of authentication/association messages above them.
The interface is configured like this:
Code:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.55
broadcast 192.168.1.255
dns-nameservers 217.237.150.205 217.237.149.142 192.168.1.1
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
wireless-essid **********
wireless-key s:************
How might I get this beast to associate itself with my ap?
[I have NOT d-u'ed the system yet, just got a new kernel (2.6.25.5.slh.1)] |
