Realtek8180l card. Connects to router but cannot surf internet
Pardon my newb speak as I am very new to all things linux.
Running Debian Etch on an IBM Thinkpad R51 model 2888-Y1M Wireless Card is a linksys WPC11 V4 Firstly I used ndiswrapper to make the card work. ndiswrapper -l ***yields net8180 driver installed, hardware (10EC:8180) present I used the XP driver next dhclient wlan0 Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:06:25:2b:dd:2b Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:06:25:2b:dd:2b Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 10.1.2.1 bound to 10.1.2.6 -- renewal in 20795 seconds. I open opera, enter a web address, and I get the error page I open Konqueror, same problem I open Iceweasel, same problem The router is not out of range either. I am sitting right next to it connected via ethernet to post this. Any help appreciated. Thanks |
update
new problem.
Modprobe ndiswrapper doesn't return any errors however debian:/home/pete# iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 No such device debian:/home/pete# dhclient wlan0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4 Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.

For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/ SIOCSIFADDR: No such device wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Bind socket to interface: No such device debian:/home/pete# The link light on the pcmia card that means it's installed and working properly (with or without connection) is not on. Power is on. debian:/home/pete# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: net8180 driver present, hardware present ******update Dec 6. Reinstalled debian, downloaded and compiled the latest version of ndiswrapper from sourceforge. that seemed to fix the problem. |
