First off, I am a linux newbie so bear with me please!
My OS: Fedora Core 2 kernel 2.6.5-1.358smp
My Nic: Linksys WMP54G
I tried NDISwrapper with no success. I downloaded the linuxant driverloader trial license and I have had minor success. (that is what I am using right now in attempt to get the nic working).
I assume root and do the following command:
/sbin/iwlist eth0 scan
I can then see all the possible networks to connect to, including my own.
When I go into my network settings in the desktop GUI and try to activate my nic I get the following output:
Quote:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth0:1 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth0:1 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for eth0:1...SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
failed.

What I would like to find out, is how the heck to connect to my network! I know I must be able to connect if I can see the darn thing using the iwlist command!
Any help from you pros would be MUCH appreciated!
Apologies for the nubness in my post too, I know you guys have gotten a million of these problems before. I just wanted to try and ask some pros first before resorting to buying a wireless bridge.
