I'm using the linuxant DriverLoader program to get my Belkin wireless card to connect to a wireless network. It works fine on non-encrypted networks, but when I try to connect to an encrypted network I can't get it to work...


I've tried

iwconfig eth1 key SOMEKEY

and when I run iwconfig I get




eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID: "somenetwork" Nickname:"dstineme"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 Ghz Bit Rate=54Mb/s Tx-Power =9 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key: SOMEKEY
Power Management:off
Link Quality:1/1 Signal level:-10 dBm Noise level:-78 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0



and when i try ifconfig eth1 to see if it even assigns me an IP it says


eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ##:##:##:##:##:##
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:15 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

iwconfig eth1 key restricted [1] <key>

alright... i'll try that tomorrow... thanks

tried that.... no luck...

What is the model of the Access Point?

Maybe also try 11Mb/s

The access point at my university is Linksys. But I don't think it should be incompatibility since it works fine in XP.

I've heard http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ works with
that card.
