If you can walk us through a little more exactly how you are trying to setup the wireless, it would help. This card should be working from what I can see so far.
One thing I note, usually the interface would be called wlan0, not eth1, but that isn't always the case. The output of iwconfig will show what the interface is called.
After that try
Code:
su -
ifconfig eth1 up
iwlist eth1 scan
Change eth1 to wlan0 if iwconfig shows the interface as such.
Does the second command give a list of available networks?
what is the name of the router you are trying to connect to (is it called test) ?
:
Code:
lspci # will tell us the pci devices you have in your system.
lsusb # will tell us the usb devices you have in your system.
ifconfig # will tell us what network interface cards you have on your system.
ifconfig -aiwconfig # will tell us which of your network interface cards has wireless capability
sudo iwlist <network-card> scan # this will use the <network-card> interface (that from the iwconfig command above) and scan for wireless routers that are accessible.
sudo iwconfig <network-card> essid <your-router-name> # assuming no security (the access point names will be provided by the previous iwlist command).
sudo dhclient # will attempt to get ip-address, subnet mask, dns server information automatically from your router assuming dhcp is turned on on your router.
it would be easier for us to read if it is in [code] tags.
is there a way to disable those stupid smileys (not aimed at original poster -- that happens to me to) ?
