hi,
I use a hp compaq nx9020 with a Belkin Wlan pci card.
The Wlan was still working fine for weeks but yesterday it suddenly stopped while using rtorrent.
Therefore I don't think it is config problem.
I installed the driver through ndiswrapper.
questions:
I don't know why but I can't change my essid.
Link Quality: 0 Signal level: 0 -> looks strange. looks like there is no signal.
Is there a possibility to check if the rooter is sending any signals?
The "Wlan led" on my Belking rooter is on and blinking.
#iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 No scan results
#iwconfig wlan0

If I run wpa_supplicant it shows the followinng output.
#wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplincant/ -Dwext -d
