Eccomi qui, come al solito a fare domande dementi, da imbranato...
Ho googlato e sono riuscito incredibilmente (non credevo ai miei
occhi, visto che sono un ebete con linux) a far andare la mia scheda
di rete wireless, nello specifico una 3com, che usa i drivers
prism54. Ho messo il firmware al posto giusto, ho fatto un ifconfig
eth1 up e il dmesg sembra dare degli esiti positivi:
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2
PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
eth1: islpci_open()
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
eth1: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset...
ma subito dopo trovo scritto questo:
eth1: device soft reset timed out
eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, triggering device

mamma mia :look: , cos'e`?
Se lancio iwconfig prima di usare ifconfig eth1 up, ottengo questo:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
tap0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 NOT READY! ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Channel:6 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Tx-Power=31 dBm Sensitivity=0/200
Retry min limit:0 RTS thr=0 B Fragment thr=0 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Se invece lo uso dopo, il risultato e':
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
tap0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
Detto questo, come faccio, una volta che la scheda di rete va, a
farla connettere all'access point wireless? Non uso crittografia,
almeno per iniziare.
Grazie infinite in anticipo a tutti.
