Hi.. I saw some posts on the list that the Dlink DWL-122 USB
wireless card works with 2.6.x kernel and linux-wlan-ng. I'm trying
to get it working on a PB G4 12" 1.33GHz machine with a 2.6.6
kernel. I built the linux-wlan-ng module from source.. followed the
instructions in the readme and everything went fine except that I
can't ping the router. The signal is picked up by the card,
kwifimanager shows the signal too, iwconfig and ifconfig show that
the wlan0 interface is up (iwconfig also shows me that WEP is
enabled and shows the 128-bit key I set). Still, I can't ping the
router. This is what I get:
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.0.7 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
The only message that seems worrisome is in dmesg:
linkstatus=CONNECTED
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
Tried posting on the linux-wlan-ng list but looks like the message
got lost in cyberspace.. please let me know if you have any
suggestions on how to fix this..
Thanks,
nirmal
