  1. Hi, I own an xps m1710 notebook and using Mandriva 2008, kde 3.5 and metisse, the OS seems to know that i'm using a touchpad (and the synaptic drivers are installed) but for some reason the horizontal scroll on the touchpad does the same as the vertical scroll (moves upside down and viceversa), the tapping works, the vertical scroll works, this the only thing that does't, any ideas? thanks NRGB [moved from Hardware by spinynorman] ---------------------------------- ``Yeah, Jesus tried to save me, but there was no space left on his memory card.'' http://www.google.co.ve Everything User # 00001
  2. Fixed! I was using an ascii password on the configuration screen, I used wpa_passphrase to generate the hex key and copy pasted on the key field and problem solved, thanks for everything!
  3. Hi, I think I found the problem yet not the solution I ran iwlist eth2 scanning and it shows WPA Version 1, I'm actually using WPA2 on my router, how do I change this?
  4. Ok it's configured on interface eth2 and running lspci it shows an "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection" on the Network Controller output, my notebook is a Dell XPS M1710 ... on the wireless connection screen it shows (I'm translating from spanish so it might not be the exact same terms) Driver: Intel Corporation|Pro/Wireless 3945ABG ESSID: Sky (wich is the name of my network) Signal Power: (it's a picture and it pretty much says i'm cool, i'm way close to the router) then there is some sort of orange lock with no column label Encrypt: [WPA] Operation Mode: Master so... i hit configure and it shows Encryptation Mode: Pre-Shared WPA Key Encrypting Key: (There used to be nothing here and I placed my network password) it's on Automatic IP and Getting DNS severs from DHCP
  5. Hi, the wpa_supplicant is already installed, I turned off the encryption letting the wireless network run free as the wind, and then I can connect as I thought it would since I have a dual boot on the notebook and it works just fine on the other OS (let's don't mention its name), thanks again, you've been incredibly fast in the answers and also for welcoming to the forum, I've been a Mandrake/Mandriva user for a while and so far this forum RULES!!!
  6. Hi! I have a linksys router and a wireless connection authenticated via WAP, so far i've been able to connect just fine from different computers (desktops and laptops) to this network using XP and Vista, but now I'm moving my Linux system from my desktop (wich is connected directly to the router) to my notebook and even though mandriva 2007 sees the network and realize it's a secure network using WAP it won't connect, i place the network password on the configuration screen but i try connecting and well... does nothing, if someone can give me a hand i'll really appreciate it, thanks in advance!
