Wireless Card Is Not Working:(


Hi Friends,

i am using Fedora 5. i have installed wireless card using ndiswrapper.
card is installed & configured properly. i am also able to self ping it.

Now the Problem area is..Wireless Card is not communicating with WYR-G54 Version 1.1 Release 24 Router. When i use DHCP for getting IP..
it says...

dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

But this card is working on Windows very well on the same machine (DUAL BOOT). It is very well communicating with the Router.

How do i run it on Fedora Linux??
please suggest something on this.

ThankU

Try providing the IP GATEWAY address of the router in your /etc/sysconfig/ifcg-wlan0 (or whatever one you have for the wireless device) file, example below;

DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Wireless
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
GATEWAY=192.168.0.2

Thanks For Ur Reply...

Yes i tried that also..
I gave the Router GATEWAY in ifcfg-wlan0..
still it is not communicating

The Card which i installed through NDISWRAPPER is actually not talking with the Wireless Router

Pls Suggest.

ThankU
