Having problems connecting to a wireless network on fedora core 1


I have a netgear WG311T network card that I am trying to get working under linux. I am trying to connect my network card to a netgear WGT624 wireless router. My network has a 128 bit WEP incryption. I have the linuxant driver installed under the 30 day free trial. I did get the WPA supplicant dowloaded and compiled but I havent done anything with it so far because I am not sure what to do with it next. I have not been able to activate my wireless card because of this. When I try it can not get the ip address from the router. Does anyone know how to get the linuxant driver working with WEP ?

Thanks,

Hockeyfan

I have found a driver for netgear wireless card. The driver is named madwifi. I downloaded it through cvs off sourceforge.net. After I compiled the source code I noticed that one of the modules did not compile. Below is the error that I got.

make[1]: Entering directory '/root/madwifi/ath_hal'
uudecode ./../hal/linux/i386-elf.hal.o.uu
make[1]: uudecode: command not found
make[1]: *** [hal.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/madwifi/ath_hal'

If anyone knows how to fix this error please let me know how to fix it. This is the only module that has not been built and I can not get my wireless working without it.

Thanks,

Hockeyfan

Yea, had the same problem while trying to follow the instructions in this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hlight=madwifi

Strangely, for all fedora does include, it doesn't appear to come with uudecode.

If you look for a shar utils rpm, it should be quite easy to find and install. That gets you past the uudecode problem. However, I've got more woes.

Does anyone have problems when modprobing the modules that are created by the madwifi driver and if so how did you fix it. When I do a modprobe I get a bunch of unresolved symbol errors for all three modules created If anyone has had success fixing this let me know?
