Wireless connection problem. Netgear DG834G router.
I have got the Netgear DG834G router, and I have to connect it with my laptop. I installed the drivers and they work fine. Then I tried to configure the wireless connection.
eth1 is my wireless interface. Code:
# ifconfig eth1 up I'm using Ubuntu 10.4. |
First of all give your self a break with text configuration. If your drivers are ok gnome network will do everything.
Troubles occurs not because of Linux but drivers and used WEP or WPA/WPA2. With some cards one works other don't. I saw this problem also on Windows. The best shot is to change network protection. |
Thanks. I disabled the WEP key and i installed Wicd, after removing the Gnome Network Manager. Now it seems to work!

Pleased you got it working, but don't forget to re-enable encryption, and bear in mind that WEP is very easily cracked, so you should use WPA or WPA2
