Hy partners...

I'm trying to configure a wireless wlan 1350 on my laptop (Inspiron 5150), but i don't know how to this.


Thank for the help...

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Wireless Networking and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

It depends on what type of wlan you are using

maybe the same nic as this one ?

maybe this thread is the right one

I configured ndiswrapper, and the wireless almost works.


I have some problems:

1) I cant browser through my lan, but i can't go out to Internet. I need to add a gateway. Please help me, i don't know how to.

2) When I reboot my box, i need to run again mobprobe ndiswrapper. I need to install this module into the kernell. I don't know how to.



Thank for the help.

I configured the gateway with YaSt, but does'n work.

I can browse through my LAN, but Internet nope

Thanks...

Can you ping an ip adress eg 216.239.59.147

if not post here the output

a)
route -n

b)
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I sort of had the same thing with suse I had eth0 and wlan0 if eth) was up. Wlan0 was able to only see local network. The easy fix ifdown eth0 ifdown wlan0 then ifup wlan0

bclear and jmoulinier,

Can you post the content of /etc/modules.conf
do you have

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
or
alias eth0 ndiswrapper

I started running fedora and don't have the problem anymore. I used to run suse. I was using the suse wlan-ng driver and then the native prism driver. my problem was the wlan0 would never see the outside world without doing the ifdown and ifup dance i talked about. Of course had them set dhcp. But one place I was using my laptop at all the time only allowed dhcp.

Hy....

all the information requested.

Thanks for all....

Two things ar left to do

1)
you must add
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
to /etc/modules.conf

2)
Most linux implementation use routed * (daemon) to make the router table, there seems to be an eth0 nic and most of the time eth0 is used to forward ip traffic to a default location.

there should be en entry like
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
or
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0

have a look at the other computer what the address of your router is

use following command to test it

route add default gw IP-Address-Router wlan0

Because the routed deamon rebuild's the table at reboot you must add this script to /etc/init.d map

PS I was wondering what would happen if you add

alias eth0 ndiswrapper
to /etc/modules.conf file

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I'm navigating with my wireless card, but when i reboot ndiswrapper does't work. I add the alias
on modules.conf, but doesn't work

I must modprobe ndiswraper again.


Another idea.


Thanks for the help friend.

I have only found a work around

You have to make scripts in

/etc/rc.d/rc5.d


The S08wlan file contained the following...
#!/bin/bash
modprobe ndiswrapper


The K13wlan file contained the follwoing
#!/bin/bash
modprobe -r ndiswrapper

use
chmod 777 S08wlan K13wlan
to make it executable

i believe that this script y running before NETWORS, because i need to ./network restart manually in order to mybox obtain IP adress

How can I change this Order??

Thanks.
