No filemanagement while on air, why not? Ndiswrapper?
I've got a fiendish dell 500m running mdk 9.2pwp, problem is, while I am connected to the wireless network, I am unable to open any filemanager, and the second i write ifdown wlan0, the problem disappears. As an extra note, I am running the ndiswrapper to control the wlan card, I'm running an older version (0.4) but I am hesitant to upgrade it due to the fact that it works now. Any help is helpful (I think)

check /etc/resolv.conf and make sure that you have a valid nameserver entry (either a real nameserver or your gateway/router)
Also check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 and make sure that these are defined GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 You will change 192.168.1 to your network. |
No luck so far
my resolve.conf consists of :
search adsl.no local nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 my ifcfg-wlan now consists of DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 GATEWAY=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=no Now what by the way, kde will not start after a serverkill with the wlan on (same problem I presume) |
/etc/resolv.conf should just be
nameserver 192.168.0.1 given that 192.168.0.1 is your gateway/router and can pass thru DNS information to clients. DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 ONBOOT=yes Also make sure that the filename is ifcfg-wlan0 and not ifcfg-wlan You can also look at ifup-wireless in the same directory for wireless parameters that you can set, so you would never have to set anything by hand when the machine boots up. example ESSID=myessid CHANNEL=6 KEY="restricted [1] XXXXXXXXXX" |
