Cannot connect Wirelessly - FC8 with Dell Inspiron 1501
I have been having trouble trying to get connected to a dlink 615 router with WPA encryption. I am running a fresh install of FC8(I had been on Slackware but messed it up and don't have the dvd for it).
I have gotten the bcm4311 firmware and extracted with with fwcutter as described at linuxwireless.org and I can get the device running with "ifconfig wlan0up" and I can see the 2 routers in my house broadcasting with Wireless Assistant 0.5.7. When I attempt to connect to either of the routers I get "Connection Failed". When I was running Slackware 12.2 I was able to connect with wireless but only when there was no encryption on the router. |
have you tried to set up your connection manually? In FC10 you can do this using Preferences/Network Manager Editor. Not sure that works in FC8
Good luck! |
