Scott Thornley Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'm trying to get 10.1 running on my Toshiba Tecra 9100. 9.2 works extremely well, but I gave up on 10.0 as wireless didn't work, and everything turned black in X sometime after 10.0 rc1. X is all better in 10.1, so I'm hoping to get wireless to work so that I can finally use KDE 3.2 in a stable environment again. ( I upgraded 9.2 to KDE 3.2 but I eventually had to re-install 9.2. Things got too hinky after a while) Anyway, wireless doesn't work. I found bug 514 in the anthill, and now PCMCIA is working, which in my case means that the built in wireless card is now detected. If I run iwconfig, I see signal strength and the access points MAC address, so I know that the internal wifi and the AP are talking to each other, but I'm not getting an IP address from the AP, and if I manually input an IP address for the wifi card, I get a "network not available" message. drakconnect is not helping. harddrake2 shows the wifi adaptor, but configuring it doesn't get me anywhere. I've searched TFW, and am not getting anywhere, so if any of you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Below is the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2: DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.0.85 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:02:2d:58:51:44 MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes WIRELESS_MODE=Managed WIRELESS_ESSID=xitho1 ifconfig eth2 up will bring up the interface, but as I said, I don't get an IP address from the AP if I am using DHCP, or I get that previously mentioned "network not available" message.

Scott Thornley Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I don't really think this belongs over here, someone could easily be having wireless issues in a desktop PC. Maybe it didn't belong in hardware, but "networking" seemed to be all about services, rather than getting the network up and running. And no one has any ideas?
