Hello all,
I have a Compaq Presario 2100 notebook with an AMD Athlon XP-M processor.
The distribution that I have is : Fedore Core 2.6.8-1.521
I have Broadcom 94360 wireless card and Linksys 54G router.
I have the latest ndis wrapper 11.0 and with some difficulty have managed to install the drivers for the wireless card and the wireless device is active.
My notebook does show up on the DHCP clients table on the Access Point.
But I can not browse on the internet. I can not ping to any address including the access point.
But ifconfig shows some packets being sent and received.
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:41:C6:7F

It can scan for wireless networks and does detect a bunch of them around. But no incoming or outgoing data. The wireless network is open but is restriced by MAC address.
The ifcfg-wlan0 is as follows:
Code:
#Wireless NDIS Wrapper Config
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:90:4b:41:c6:7f
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Wireless
DHCP_HOSTNAME=HAL2003

USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

It would be great if someone could help me out here. Suggestions and pointers highly appreciated. I can put up more data in the post if it is required.
Thanks
