Hey Hey,
First question on here. I have been desperatly trying to get my wireless card(s) working on mandriva. I've tried everything I could find on here. Problem is not with install (from what I can see).
Ndiswrapper installed (version that comes with 10.2, newest version on website tried as well), I've tried with 2 seperate cards (BCM4309 minipci on my inspiron 8600) and a D-Link DWL-610 PCMCIA card. Both install flawlessly, modprobe goes well.
IWCONFIG on WLAN0 shows all info to be correct, ESSID is there, mode is Managed. I receive an IP through DHCP. I can ping that ip (192.168.1.133) I can ping localhost.
I cannot ping my gateway, I cannot ping outside.
route is as follows:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 wlan0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 wlan0
pinging the gateway gives me:
root@localhost satan]# ping 192.168.1.1
