HP Pavilion ze2000 (ze2113us)


I have been trying for over a week now to get this to work but no go so far.

Any and all help is most appreciated.

(Space added between some ":" and other characters in order to
prevent smileys)

****************************************************

My laptop:

HP Pavilion ze2000 (Model: ze2113us)
____________________________________________________

My wireless card:

Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g

Note: This card is integrated, not PCMCIA add-on
____________________________________________________

Distro Installed:

Linux version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

NdisWrapper Version: 1.3rc1

Clean compile/install
____________________________________________________

Windows Driver:

HP Wireless Driver Package: SP30379A
Broadcom Driver Version: 3.100.65.1
____________________________________________________

My boot.messages:

shows wlan0 initialization but it states that it is using
configuration file 14E4:4320.5.conf instead of ifcfg-wlan0.

Is this correct?

Is file 14E4:4320.5.conf an alias or link to ifcfg-wlan0?
____________________________________________________

Quick Notes:

This device is working, no problem, when I boot into Windows.
_____

I have not been able to get any ping replies when I attempt to
ping the router.
_____

'iwconfig' states that my ESSID is set to "off/any"

'iwlist scanning' states my router's correct ESSID.

driver features may not be available...

Have to admit, I didn't read the post too carefully, my eyes started to hurt. Here's a couple of suggestions to try though:

1. Try setting the security mode to "open" rather than restricted

2. It complains about using wireless extension 17 and recommends version 18, perhaps you could try this. The manipulation of the wireless extensions is done with wireless tools, so I think this means you should upgrade wireless tools. Not sure though, and this probably isn't important anyway. All it means is that you may be missing some newer features of wireless tools..........

Cheers

I have been able to get it to work but only if I do not enable WEP on the card and router. As soon as I disable WEP on the router and try to connect without WEP enabled on the card, the connection to the internet is fine. As soon as I enable WEP on both the card and the router, no connection can be made.

Suggestions?

Yes, you're either entering the WEP key incorrectly, or the mode is incorrect.

Try

Code:
# iwconfig wlan0 key restricted XXXXXXXXXX
See if that works, if not try

Code:
# iwconfig wlan0 key open XXXXXXXXXX
Where XXXXXXXXXX is the WEP key.

Either one of them should work so long as you are careful to input the key correctly

Cheers

also your access point may not broadcasting it's existance. so adding

essid='xxxxxxxxxx' where the x's are the name of your access station

may be neccessary.

i.e. my connection string:

iwconfig wlan0 essid MYACCESSPOINT mode managed key s:MYWEPKEY restricted

(note, the s: means my key is an ascii string)
