Debian Sarge and Wireless Network. Unable to receive ip address.
Hi,
I've got a problem getting my wireless card to work with
Debian Sarge on my laptop (HP Pavillion ze4204s).
It is a CNet card that uses the Atmel drivers at Source Forge.
http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/
The card seems to be detected and working. The receive signal
is flashing when I'm in an are with wireless access.
The problem is that I'm unable to receive an ip address.
I've got the interface (eth1) configured as dhcp in
/etc/network/interfaces, but what happens is that the
dhcp client times out after several attempts.
I've also tried to receive an address using the command
# pump -i eth1
but this also times out after a few minutes.
The wireless card is working in WinXP, so I know it's something
wrong with my configuration.
Ideas anyone?
Some information about a few files and commands that might be
helpful is shown below.
Regards
