superplay Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I am totaly new to linux and having a nightmare of a time trying to get my Wireless adapter to connect to my internet router. The card is a USB Belkin F5D7050. I have installed the drivers for the card using the wrapper avalable from www.linuxant.com Wrapper installation log: [root@localhost superplay]# ls Desktop/ Linux/ tmp/ [root@localhost superplay]# cd Linux [root@localhost Linux]# ls driverloader-2.24_k2.6.8.1_12mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm* rt2500usb.cat* rt2500usb.sys* LICENSE* rt2500usb.inf* rt25u98.sys* [root@localhost Linux]# rpm -i driverloader-2.24_k2.6.8.1_12mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm warning: driverloader-2.24_k2.6.8.1_12mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5dfbf7dc Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 2.24 Pre-built driver modules that seem compatible with your system were found under /usr/lib/driverloader/modules/binaries/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk. If you need license keys, assistance or more information, please go to: http://www.linuxant.com/ When reporting a problem for the first time, please send us the file generated by "dldrconfig --dumpdiag". To complete the installation, please point your browser to: http://127.0.0.1:18020/ [root@localhost Linux]# I then configured the card though the browser as follows and specified the trial version key.: rt2500usb.inf rt2500usb.sys rt25u98.sys I then used the andrake Control Centre and added the card "eth1:Belkin:Belkin 54g USB network adapter" assigned valid IP/DNS and Gateway (Router) The adpater flashed into life, I can ping the adapter by loop address (127.0.0.1) and by its IP 192.168.1.10 however when I attempt to ping my wireless router I get the error "destination host unreachable" To simplify trouble shooting I enabled SSID broadcast and disables WEP on the router. If I run a iwlist/iwconfig scan it picks up the router and reports its details. I have tried the connection with and without fragmentation and RTU settings (I took the valued from my router) I do not have the firewall enabled. Under windows the adapter works fantastic, so I know that the hardware and the wireless range is good! So far I have been trying for 11hrs and still no joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Does the router not need to provide your IP by dhcp, some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
