Okay, trying to connect with my wireless GN-WPKG with rt2500 chipset wireless PCI card. Ubuntu Feisty doesn't support it natively, even though on the ubuntu help pages it was advertised as "out of the box", they decided to change that without telling anyone. I think the hardware is now enabled and working, but it doesn't actually connect. This is the tutorial I followed -
http://www.vickersf.dyndns.org:8080/...ubuntu-feisty/
And here's everything I did and the error messages.
I've uninstalled gnome network manager. DHCP server is enabled on the router.
This is what I've done:
Code:
cd /etc/init.d/
gksudo gedit wireless-up
Code:
#!/bin/dash
ifconfig ra0 down
iwconfig ra0 essid "your essid"
iwconfig ra0 key "your wep key if you have one"
ifconfig ra0 up
dhclient3 ra0
Pasted his is inside the file "wireless-up". This file is set to run on startup.
Code:
sudo chmod o+x ./wireless-up
cd /etc/rc2.d/
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/wireless-up ./S14wireless-up
I noticed that when I started, it did not connect. So I tried typing each of the commands in the text file individually. And that's how I got the no DHCP offers recieved problem.
Code:
erin@erin-desktop:/etc/rc2.d$ sudo dhclient3 ra0
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 6666
killed old client process, removed PID file

I think it might just be the wrong WEP key. I disabled the WEP key on the router and I just left it as
iwconfig ra0 key s:
inside the text file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, This is getting really annoying.
