I_NEED_HELP Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have just installed ubuntu and i have installed ndiswrapper to try getting my card which is based on the rtl8180 chipset. I have installed ndiswrapper so that it now tells me my hardware is present and working with the command. graham@graham-laptop:~/wireless_tools.27 $ sudo dmesg | grep ndiswrapper ndiswrapper version 0.10 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) ndiswrapper: using irq 11 wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:50:fc:f2:b0:8b using driver rtl8180.sys ndiswrapper device wlan0 supports WPA with AES/CCMP and TKIP ciphers ndiswrapper: driver rtl8180.sys (Realtek,10/07/2004,5.173.1007.2004) added I have installed wireless tools correctly and the icon at the top right shows that i have 100% signal. I have then used the following three lines to setup the connection to my gateway sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.5 sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0/0 gw 192.168.0.254 ifconfig gives me the following out put wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:FC:F2:B0:8B inet addr:192.168.1.106 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:fcff:fef2:b08b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:186 (186.0 B) TX bytes:378 (378.0 B) Interrupt:11 Memory:d0100000-d01000ff and iwconfig gives me wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"methuen" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:0C:41:8A:C2:78 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power:20 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 RTS thr:2432 B Fragment thr:2432 B Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-45 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 To me this looks correct the ip addresses are all correct. Is there something im missing to get my wireless connection working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) this is an answer to your question, my apologies for that, but i'm curious how you got ndiswrapper working in ubuntu. i installed it but am getting errors when trying to load the module. if you could possibly PM me the info or make another post about it i'd be grateful. as for your problem, my only thoughts are: are you using WPA or WEP? have you set the keyphrase?
