Hello all !

I have wireless router Linksys. And i have slackware 11.0 on my laptop. I have Broadcom 4311 wireless card on with ndiswrapper:

output :

ifconfig

I have configured my rc.inet1.conf and rc.wireless.conf files and seems my wireless card is already connected to my access point :

output :

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

But when plug out my UTP cable from non wireless card and want to ping my router i have no reply, i have switched of all encriptions and keys, still nothing. I have tried the same in windows with same configuration of wireless card and everything works. I still cant understand why not in linux.

SOS

do you use dhcp or static addresses? It looks like you are connected. Can you try shutting down eth0 and restarting wlan0? I have a bcm4306 in my ibook and it does the same thing I couldn't get the wireless to work while eth0 was up even though it looked connected, so I don't start either at boot then when I need it I start the one I'm going to use. I'm sure there is a way to fix this but I never needed both at the same time.

For a wireless router i have static ip and for my laptop's wireless card i have faked static ip, i already tried to do :
ifconfig eth0 down and ifcofnig wlan0 up still no results. I do not need them at the same time both just need now to make wireless able to work!

When i do ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig:

ifconfig eth0 down

And then when i do iwconfig :


iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Seems all my configurations for my wireless network from rc.wireless.conf have disapeared, why i how can i fix that?

Ok guys i figured out so in your rc.wireless.conf file before any configuration add line "HWADDR=and here type in your wireless card mac addresse" and unerline everything you need to configure for this card and then run ./rc.inet1 start from your /etc/rc.d/ directory if in slack.
