I tested both the devicescape branch and the softmac branch, both with WEP, two days ago. I didn't get any errors like this though. > [...] > # Check routing for local wireless network traffic is there > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# netstat -r > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface > 192.168.73.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3 I did not get "dhcp" to work either. I could see on my AP that it receives the dhcp request and it seems to hand out an IP address for 60 seconds. I assume it then waits for a confirmation from my iBook before handing out a 'real' lease. But it doesn't seem to get that confirmation. I do get it working with a fixed IP address, like what you tried. I did add the default route to the gateway, though. And more importantly, I always have to wait some time before it works. Right after configuring the interface and adding the route, all connections will fail. But after trying new connections for 2-3 minutes (trying to load some websites and pinging), it suddenly works. From then on the connection works just fine. I also noticed that right after adding the default route, the command "route" will print out the route for local connections and then pause a while before printing out the default route. I have no idea why this is or what I can do about it, but at least I have a wireless connection now. > # I think it may be time to but a USB wireless device until bcm43xx > # is easier! There's definitely still some hassle with the bcm43xx driver... but for me it's good enough for now.
