Network Configuration Errors Setting D-Link DWL-650+ Wireless Card
1. I am using Windows 2000 & Red Hat 9.0, kernel version - 2.4.20-6
2. My Red Hat 9.0 installation is working perfectly. I am not very familiar with the terminal commands.
3. I am trying to install my D-Link DW 650+ Wireless network card.
4. In Windows 2000, using DHCP
5. It shows two devices in Network Configuration:
eth1, nick: eth1, type: ethernet
eth1:1, nick: eth1:1, type: Wireless
6. I changed the modules.conf recently and the hardware in network configuration displays:
acx100sta, type: ethernet, eth0
acx100sta, type: ethernet, eth1
7. The DNS settings displays:
hostname: localhost.localdomain
8. The hosts displays:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
9. When I try to activate the first one (eth1) it gives this error:
Cannot activate network device eth1 !
Determining IP information for eth1.... failed.
10. When I try to activate the second one (eth1:1) it gives these errors:
Cannot activate network device eth1:1 !
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06):
SET failed on device eth1:1; Operation not supported.
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20):
SET failed on device eth1:1; Invalid Argument
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A):
SET failed on device eth1:1; Invalid argument "s:".
Determining IP information for eth1:1..... SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address failed.
11. I have tried this both before and after trying to disable firewalls using: service iptables stop
12. I have a dhclient installed already. When I run "dhclient eth1" it displays the following final messages after it tries to do DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67:
No DHCPOFFERS recieved.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
13. The ESSID of our network is set to null, so I switched the network configuration to Auto and so now ESSID=""
14. We use a proxy server, its address is 194.xxx.x.xxx, and we arenot using an encrytion based authentication.
I have given you all the information I can think of. Please help me I am a quite new, so can I get exact info. Thanx for your help.
