Hi,
I have an an Acer laptop (Gentoo, kernel 2.6.9) with wifi card: Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01)
I'm trying to connect to a Belkin Modem/Router/Access Point combo box with SSID set to "lilas".
I have succesfully connected to it with windoze, so I can vouch for the hardware and the fact that the access point is in range.
I've tried using iwconfig on its own, and I've tried using wpa_supplicant.
Either way, when I scan for access points, it doesn't find anything (or times out).
I hqve been trying for days now to get this link up and I think I might be about to lose my marbles.
Can anyone out there make sense of this?
The access point is set to broadcast it's ESSID, with WPA-PSK with TKIP, On Channel 1, with no MAC or IP filtering.
I have ndiswrapper installed and running with a windows driver:
ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
neti2220 driver present, hardware present
