Problem leasing ip with ma101 wireless

ZeRo69er · 01-24-2004, 09:56 PM

I'm using a netgear ma101 with atml drivers and I can't seem to get an ip from my router. Using these cmds I've partially set it up

ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.102(a free ip address on the router)
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

I've tried using dhclient eth1 but all that does is start:
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 on 255.255.255.0(something along the lines of that) and its says it cant find anything.

I've tested it with ifconfig and woconfig to make sure it is recognized. I've also setup the channel and ssid.

(I can only access the router website(D-link 614+) by typing in 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and loging in I can get to my router website, but as far as brwosing goes im getting nothing). I have DHCP enabled on my router. I'm using Slackware 9.1.

Ok im pretty new to linux but i got it working. Here is my code

Code:

ifconfig
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:09:5B:10:3E:A2
          inet addr:192.168.1.102  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:21 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:1579 (1.5 Kb)

Code:

iwconfig
wlan0     IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"linksys"  Nickname:"eman.mine.linux.org"
          Mode:Managed  Channel:6  Access Point: 00:0C:41:C0:95:7F
          Bit Rate:11Mb/s
          RTS thr=1536 B   Fragment thr=1536 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:12  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Then you have to put in

Code:

dhclient

if you still can't get online.
