Problem configuring wireless with ndiswrapper

[RVDowning]

Been fighting this a couple of weeks, so I guess its time to ask for help. I think everything is set up right as regards ndsiwrapper, and hardware is ok since it works in Windows. I think the problem is in actually configuring the card. Running "route" gives:

 

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I tend to use the console for configuring ndiswrapper, since it didn't really work well for me within the gui.

 

Have you used the ndiswrapper -i command to install your driver as per the ndiswrapper wiki? What does ndiswrapper -l (lowercase L) report? What's the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.preload?

[RVDowning]

My buddy and I would be happy to use console or command line or anything that works. The ndiswrapper seems to be fine. The problem seems to be with the configuring of the wireless card.

 

Here is the output you requested:

 

ndiswrapper -l

Installed drivers:

bcmwl5 driver installed

rt2500 driver installed

rt61 driver installed, hardware present

# rt61 is the correct driver for this device #

 

modprobe.conf

alias eth0 8139too

alias sound-slot-0 es1371

install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe sata_uli; /bin/true

alias sound-slot-1 es1371

remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true

alias eth1 driverloader

install rt2500 /bin/true

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

# Line 9 "install rt2500 /bin/true" appears to be installing the wrong driver for this device. It should be rt61.#

 

 

modeprobe.preload

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY

# for old kernel use /etc/modules

 

amd64-agp

amd64-agp

 

Why would this entry be repeated?

[ianw1974]

OK, I've seen those repeated lines before. Do an lsmod to find out if the module has actually loaded twice, although I would have thought loading once should be enough. You can comment it out and see if you notice any issue.

 

Anyway, that's not relating to the ndiswrapper :P

 

Add "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.preload. I've had to do this since mine wouldn't work on bootup unless this was done. Your modprobe.conf looks perfectly fine.

 

Are you using WEP/WPA or anything like that, or is it currently open until you've got it working? I'd suggest having it open until we've got ndiswrapper working, and then using WPA to secure it afterwards, since WEP is easily compromised and quickly too.

[RVDowning]

Did this, but it had no effect on anything. As was pointed out in other newsgroups "You've got no connection (as is evident from the fact that all the quality measures read 0 and you have no IP address - well, you have an IPv6 one, but that means nothing)."

 

So, still looking for suggestions.

dont use quality measures as an indication of connection, often ndiswrapper simply does not even report them.

 

the best way to check for a connection is to run iwconfig and look for "Access Point". If this has something other than a pile of 0's then you've associated to a wireless network correctly.

Listed below is /var/log/messages. (Seems the attachment feature doesn't work) Looks like it is not getting an ip address:

Have you tried running:

 

iwlist wlan0 scan

 

and what does it report back?

[RVDowning]

Note the Cell 02 is not ours, but is a neighbor's.

Cell 01 is the shows the address of the card in the remote pc.

 

Hope this helps.

OK, it's found two access points, the first being "linksys" which sounds like yours. This would suggest at least your wireless card is working.

 

Are you trying to obtain an ip address by DHCP? I might be tempted to configure it to use a static ip, and then see if you can ping the linksys. Of course, make sure security is off on the wireless access point for testing, to make it much easier for troubleshooting.

 

I normally use the gui for configuring the wireless point just for the static ip, then the rest I do from the command line afterwards. Go into System/Configuration/Configure Your Computer/Networking/Wireless Connections if you've already created one, or create one using the wizard, and then go into the properties afterwards to see if it shows a link status and signal strength.

[RVDowning]

By the way, we know the hardware is working ok. He has no problem when dual booted into Windows. Will try your suggestions shortly.

[RVDowning]

Don't know if the following helps clarify anything:

 

When I originally installed Mandriva 2006 (i didn't have a separate router at the time) I set up the machine to receive its ip address via DHCP from the Westell modem and had no problems. As it happens, I DO have a static ip address, but I never had to key that ip address in during the Mandriva installation.

 

The instructions I used for hooking up the Linksys router to the BellSouth Westell modem are here: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323 Is this methodology perhaps not suitable for retrieving the ip address via DHCP for the router?

 

I am hooked up via Bridged Ethernet from the Westell modem to the Linksys router. The Westell modem is both a modem and router, but, if I understand correctly, the Bridged Ethernet mode should just pass off all the routing functions to Linksys.

 

My machine is hard-connected to the router and I have no connectivity problems, so I am assuming that it is giving out an ip address via DHCP. Is it perhaps not doing so for the wireless machine?

 

Thanks for your help.

[ianw1974]

I have a wireless access point, which is bridged to my network, but doesn't pass DHCP. It could be that DHCP isn't passed over your Wireless connection. Some are supported for this, and some aren't. I would check in Windows to see if it receives DHCP across the wireless. If not, then this would mean DHCP won't be forwarded over the wireless.

 

I'm unsure if your linksys passes DHCP over it's wireless or not. I have to use static with mine. If you find Windows doesn't get DHCP over Wireless, then this would mean you'd have to have a static ip address for your wireless connections. I would make sure that the DHCP scope configured on the router has these addresses excluded so that they can't be assigned to other machines, causing duplicate IP addresses.

 

I use static completely and no DHCP, since it also reduces the load on the router hardware too. I only have a few machines, so for me, I find it easier with static. Plus, because I have to as well, due to the lack of passing DHCP via my wireless access point.

[RVDowning]

I'm not sure how to check in Windows "to see if it receives DHCP across wireless." I'll double check, but I don't believe my static ip address was ever keyed into my roommate's Windows machine. In which case, how does it work in Windows?

 

I don't use Windows, but my roommate (for whom we are trying to set up this wireless connection) dual boots. His Windows connectivity is fine. He just has Linux issues.

 

I would make sure that the DHCP scope configured on the router has these addresses excluded so that they can't be assigned to other machines, causing duplicate IP addresses.

 

I'll have to check this.

 

I use static completely and no DHCP, since it also reduces the load on the router hardware too.

 

Guess I'll have to see how to set this up. Haven't a clue at the moment.

[ianw1974]

You can configure static using the wizards for the wireless connection, this is what I do, which then creates the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 file.

 

Then take a look at the Wireless Configuration afterwards, as it'll show if it's seeing the access point, and how good/bad the signal is. If Windows does receive DHCP IP address OK over wireless, then it should be fine for Linux too. Troubleshooting with static, will give us an idea as to where the problem is. Make sure dhcpcd is installed to receive DHCP addresses.

 

urpmi dhcp-client

 

as this is the client for obtaining the DHCP address.
