Hello list,
Sorry for troubling with something that is most probably a silly problem, however I wasn't able to setup wireless on my own today. I reinstalled lenny from scratch using a fresh snapshot of netinst lenny installer. I am using b43 module # lsmod|grep b43 b43 134400 0 rfkill 10132 3 rfkill_input,b43 rng_core 8036 1 b43 mac80211 169868 1 b43 input_polldev 7752 1 b43 ssb 45924 1 b43 pcmcia 38928 2 b43,ssb pcmcia_core 41112 5 b43,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic,ssb,pcmcia firmware_class 11296 2 b43,pcmcia This is hwo far I got. I added two lines to /etc/network/interfaces allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan here is the output of ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:24:79:8d:2a inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:24ff:fe79:8d2a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1156 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1432 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1074778 (1.0 MiB) TX bytes:220431 (215.2 KiB) Interrupt:41 Base address:0x9000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:560 (560.0 B) TX bytes:560 (560.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:24:91:0c:ca BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-11-24-91-0C-CA-10-0B-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Any help will be greatly appreciated Piotr -- http://okle.pl
