Wireless encryption setup
I have a HP Pavilion XH535
2Wire PCMCIA card its a re-branded Orinoco Silver 2Wire 100w Home Portal named house Drivers are orinoco_cs SuSe 8.0 One beep on boot Encryption off all is good Trying to use 64 bit WEP Using Kwifi and or wireless tools for configuration Wireless key is default 2465559603 iwconfig output is eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"house" Nickname:"HERMES I" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:02:2D:11:76:27 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:2465-5596-03 Power Management:off Link Quality:40/92 Signal level:97/153 Noise level:57/153 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I show a strong signal sitting 5 feet from the main unit 2Wire 100w. However I cannot obtain an IP once I have turned on encryption. ifconfig shows eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2D:52:27:81 inet6 addr: fe80::202:2dff:fe52:2781/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2199 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:187 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:867116 (846.7 Kb) TX bytes:27640 (26.9 Kb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100 Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong. |
Okay found a post by Finegan that gave the correct commands
iwconfig ethX essid NameOfTheNetwork iwconfig ethX enc 123456abcd (if you are using encryption) dhcpcd ethX The output was eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"house" Nickname:"HERMES I" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:02:2D:11:76:27 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:2465-5596-03 Power Management:off Link Quality:39/92 Signal level:94/153 Noise level:54/153 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ********************** Compare the output of the first post and this one all is the same except I have no IP in the first one. Someone tell me what changed. I used command line instead of kwifi same encryption different result???????????????? |
Silence is golden I guess.
Well it works however everytime I reboot I need to go into the control panel and delete and then readd the wireless card. I have an IP after running the iwconfig commands but am unable to browse anything. Showing host unreachable. dmesg shows this. cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. hermes.c: 3 Oct 2001 David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> orinoco.c 0.08 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others) orinoco_cs.c 0.08 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others) cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x378-0x37f 0x408-0x40f 0x480-0x48f 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0380-0x0407: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0410-0x047f: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0490-0x04cf: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x04d8-0x04ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x080f: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0816-0x08ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean. eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0007:001c eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 7.28 eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported. eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported. eth1: WEP supported, "128"-bit key. eth1: MAC address 00:02:2D:52:27:81 eth1: Station name "HERMES I" eth1: ready eth1: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:08.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:08.1 IPv6 v0.8 for NET4.0 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver eth1: no IPv6 routers present eth0: no IPv6 routers present eth1: no IPv6 routers present eth0: no IPv6 routers present eth1: no IPv6 routers present eth0: no IPv6 routers present Any thoughts? |
