I would like to eventually put DSL on my system and get away from windows and gain some speed, But I can't seam to fig out the networking thing.
This is what I have fig out so far about the D-link card and router,
Thank god for SIW for windows.

If anybody can help I would appreciate it. Everything I do does not work
If I more info here just tell me and I will post it.

It seems that you are trying to use the wireless network with your router.

First, is your router working properly? If it is working properly before you switching to DSL, what you need to do is setting your router with wired cable, and turn on DHCP. Make sure that you know the SSID and WEP key. I would start with no WEP protection, and after verifying the network is functioning, I will then try the WEP or WPA protection.

Secondly, may you post your dmesg in your DSL? Maybe a "/sbin/lspci -n " would tell you if your DSL correctly detects the wireless card.

Yes the router is working, At least running windows. all computers connect to internet. it's only gives me problems when I put the live cd in and boot from that. dmesg lsbin/lspci -n, gives me (missing parameters)

/sbin/lspci

see what the output is. See if you can see the network card. I am assuming that you are using a pcmcia card.

Sorry Yes pcmcia card. And when I type /sbin/lspci in terminal (I assume you what me to use terminal)I get (no such file or directory). the dwl-g650 pcmcia card one of two lights is on. Usually they are both on and blinking in windows.

ok, this is good. I think DSL correctly identifies your network card.

Now, you need to connect your system to the network.

First, let's find out which is your network card.

sudo /sbin/iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 unassociated ESSIDff/any
...................................

you will see a list of network cards. In this situation, eth1 is the one of your wireless network card that will work.

sudo /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid MY_ESSID key 1234567890 mode managed

pup -i eth1

Make sure you replace MY_ESSID with your network ssid, and 1234567890 to your encryption key.

No encryption key, Open network, But with mac filters on, A neighbor was hacking (Borrowing) my network so I cut him him out using only our mac address's,
Do I type all of this in terminal

sudo /sbin/iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 unassociated ESSIDff/any. Or just this, sudo /sbin/iwconfig I am fig just that.

I will jump to dsl and post a reply in 10 to 20 min or sooner.

sudo /sbin/iwconfig RETURNS THIS

IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""

Ok how do I copy & paste in Linux
Can I pause the load screen so I can write a couple things down, I did catch this

Insmod Ath_hal Loaded with warnings
there is about four more too.

ok, mac filter is fine as long as you set up your router correctly and make sure that your router does allow this specific network card to access the network. And I believe since your windows can access the internet with no problem, so you are fine on this.

To copy and paste in DSL (or all linux systems) you simply use your cursor to highlight the text, and then toggle to your text editor for example, nano, vim, ted, or any other places that allow you to input text, and use your mouse middle click to paste. Normally for a laptop, you can simultaneously press left and right buttons on your mouse to simulate the middle click to paste. However, this may not be the case and you may have to edit your x-server. In DSL, it is simple, you simply exit the x-windows, and in the prompt, xsetup.sh (if I remember correctly) and you will be able to setup your mouse.

"sudo /sbin/iwconfig" is the command that you will type to list your current network configuration.

To change the configuration, you will execute the following command.
"sudo /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid Your_ESSID key off mode managed channel 6"
Once you hit enter, and then the next command will be "sudo /sbin/iwconfig" again to verify that you successfully updated the configuration.

I am assuming that your channel is 6, however, you need to verify that.
If you do a "sudo /sbin/iwlist eth1 scanning" it will list a number of networks surrounding you including the channels.

Once everything is set, you will execute "sudo pump -i eth1" to commit all changes and if nothing goes wrong, you will get your network access.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ohm ok this is what I got
SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
dsl@box:~$ sudo /sbin/iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.


wifi0 no wireless extensions.

At least now I can copy & paste exactly what it says

Also It is a d-link router too

Cardmgr:[105] Starting version is 3.2.2
Cardmgr[105] Socket 1: cardbus hotplug device

Sorry that was what I found on the loading screen

replace eth1 with your ath0 and try again.
