No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Hi,
After a week of fighting with madwifi drivers finally i have my Atheros 5006X AR5413 working. Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo ifconfig Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo iwconfig Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo lshw -C network Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo ifconfig ath0 down Its my first distro so please be patient. |
The error you're getting indicates the computer can't communicate with the network, either because you're out of range or the settings are incorrect.
|
I'm in range. Under Xp i can get connection without any problems. Which settings can be wrong?
|
Encryption type, key, channel, etc. Go through the settings and make sure you haven't set things up incorrectly.
|
Then please help me and analaze from the beginning.
Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ iwlist scan Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo ifconfig ath0 down Code:
mati@RAKIETA:~$ sudo dhcpcd ath0 Maybe this is the problem: Code:
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 0 Thanks in advance for your help. |
I get the line "There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 0" frequently but it's never stopped me getting a lease.
However what I'm sure is a problem is that in your list of commands you executed you specified the essid as "neciak" and then set the card to channel 6, but in the results of your iwlist it shows the channel for that AP as 11. You might also try it without the "iwconfig ath0 mode Managed" since I've never needed it to connect anything. |
I do have this problem for a week now. I am using Xubuntu and ndiswrapper on netgear wg 511 v2. But this is not a problem, since it is the same on my desktop computer with another os and wifi interface.
I had found here people dealing with this really frustrating problem : http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=5392 So I beleive now that here comes trouble with Linux itself. My network does not have any encryption key or security. I had chenged the file /etc/network/interfaces in order to set up wlan0 in dhcp or static mode. I had removed everything except "localhost" from /etc/hosts. It still does not work, while my macbook get connected without trouble. Could be a bug to report somewhere ? Anyway I wonder what to do now.... ? thanks for helping. |
