Hi,
I have a Trendnet TEW-421PC which has a Realtek 8185 chipset.
Installing the driver with ndiswrapper seemed to work fine.
ifup wlan0 fails to get a connection.
syslog just echoes the failure to get a working lease.
TIA for any ideas,
Paul Scott
The way wireless is configured in Debian, ifup won't get you anywhere
by itself -- unless you edit your /etc/network/interfaces accordingly.
You have to tinker with iwlist, iwconfig (and ESSID) to make it work.
It's perhaps wiser to use a desktop environment and network-manager
which should manage connections automatically (well, at least it
should display the available wireless networks for you, so you can at
least see that your wireless card is working).
