Question Broadcom Corporation BCM94306 802.11g on Fedora core 2.


I followed the instruction mentioned here (NO URL)

to install this wireless card on my laptop, everything is fine.
and acutally I think that the driver has been installed correctly since I can use
"iwlist wlan0 scan" to find two different networks here with correct ESSID. But I could not use
"iifup wlan0" to activate my wireless card.

my ESSID should be "test" but using iwconfig, I just got:
______________________________________________________________
lo no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:"my.home.net"

even I just used
"iwconfig wlan0 channel 11 essid "test" mode Managed" before running "iwconfig"

SYSTEM:
Fedora core 2: (kernel 2.6.6-1.435
)ndiswrapper 0.8 CVS

Many thanks.

It could be that the card is "up" but doesn't have an IP address. If you look at the output of ifconfig, does wlan0 have an IP. If not, either assign one manually or run your dhcp client to get one (I think in Fedora the command is dhclient wlan0).

Try these one at a time starting with essid. I don't think that the other settings will take if the card isn't associated with an access point first.
