Hi guys.. I'm having a small problem with the configuration of my wireless card on my HP ZD7000 notebook..
Here's the results..
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:5D:48:56
inet addr:192.168.2.144 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:36400 (35.5 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:10 Memory:d2004000-d2005fff
Notice the TX is 0 bytes.. It's acting like it's not configuring properly..
My rc.wireless.conf is:
INFO="Fill with your own settings..."
# ESSID (extended network name) : My Network, any
ESSID="ucfaeroeng"
# NWID/Domain (cell identifier) : 89AB, 100, off

KEY="xxxx-xxxx-23 [1] key xxxx-xxxx-f0 [2]"
Obviously I censored the Keys but they are correctly entered.. I've tried setting Mode to managed but it gives an error on the Freq or Channel settings.
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: wlan0 is 'Fill with your own settings...'
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode auto
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 nick yavins-moon
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 channel 3
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key ************
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless: /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid ucfaeroeng
As you can see it happens with auto too although not all the time..
Any idea why it's not working properly? Is the TX problem related to the latter Channel/Freq problem?
Thanks for any help guys..
Daniel
