hi, how is life ...
i got an EnGenius EPI-3601S wireless pci adapter, and i have a CentOS linux>
.
my problem is:
i followed this link
http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
to install the driver with madwifi, i did , but i think something gone wrong... but when i restart the pc, linux checked the wifi0 for ip... , and when i went to the networks, i saw a wifi0 in Devices but its from the Ethernet connection, not from wireless connection.
then i tried to "wake it up" and see status, its like this
PHP Code:
lo no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:18 dBm Sensitivity=0/3
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/94 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
i can change it to monitor mode and return to manage mode with airmon.sh, but i can't get an ip from access point when using these commands
PHP Code:
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid -=isp name=-
dhclient wifi0
the essid is changed to the desired one, but the problem in the dhclient ...
by the way , after i installed the card, when centOS starts and verify eth0 and wifi0 and before loging in, it stand by for 5 minutes or more just loading with black screen and the mouse with the blue circles...
any ideas? i spent the day searching the net...
yours...
