Guest finux-k Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi, I have a sitecom wl-112 and I am trying to make it work on a toshiba satellite running mandrake 10. I have managed to get the card recognised; also, using ndiswrapper, I have installed the windowsxp driver. However, I cannot get it switched on. Anyone can help? Thanks.

Guest finux-k Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 thanks for your help! I have followed the instructions that appear on the post you referred me to. however I still cannot get it switched on. After I have configured the card, I issue dhclient wlan0 and get as a response Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1rc13 Copyright 1995-2002 Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:0e:2e:0f:21:9d Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:0e:2e:0f:21:9d Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. also, none of the card's leds switches on during this process. any idea? thanks again.

devries Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Looks like your network isn't setup correctly (DHCP errors). Can you go into the Mandrake Control Center, network & internet and setup a new connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest finux-k Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I can. However, when I choose wlan0 I do not know which driver to point to (I've tried a few of those appearing on the list but none worked). I can also see that a connection is actually present if I choose "Manage Connections." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SiegeSapper Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) I've found out, that it is a Raltech (http://www.ralinktech.com/) chipset. Edited February 19, 2005 by SiegeSapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
