Hello everybody.
I have a problem installing Linksys WMP54G ver 2. In the box i want to install it i have an eth0 too and i want to use as access point the dsl/router Linksys WAG354G.
# lspci |grep -i wireless
Code:
02:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
So i have used ndiswrapper to install win drivers and work.My wlan is recognized.
Code:
# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5 driver present, hardware present
but at #dmesg | grep wlan
Code:
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:0f:66:f1:a5:e0 using driver bcmwl5, configuration file 14E4:4320:1737:0013.5.conf
wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP, WPA with TKIP, WPA with AES/CCMP
wlan0 (WE) : Driver using old /proc/net/wireless support, please fix driver !
# cat /proc/net/wireless
Code:

# ifconfig -a

The graffical interface of the configuration of the dsl/router is the simpliest i would can do.

At Security section all security options are disabled.
I haven't set up right the /etc/conf.d/wireless so at boot up the init script fails.And the netmount fails also.
I do the cofigurations manually with ifconfig and iwconfig till get them work.
#rc-status boot
Code:
Runlevel: boot
urandom [ started ]
net.lo [ started ]
keymaps [ started ]
coldplug [ started ]

checkfs [ started ]

rmnologin [ started ]

#rc-status default
Code:
Runlevel: default
netmount [ off ]
local [ started ]
domainname [ started ]
cupsd [ started ]
hotplug [ started ]
net.wlan0 [ off ]
So i can't establish a connection between wlan0 and wireless router.....
Any help will be helpfull.Thanks in advance.
