I just had AT&T Uverse service installed, replacing Comcast cable. The
desktop, running etch, performs with an ethernet connection, but I can't get
wireless going on a laptop, IBM T30, also etch.
The card is recognized:
dmesg|grep wlan0:
wlan0: vendor: 'NETGEAR WG511 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card'
wlan0: ethernet device [MAC addreess] using NDIS driver netwg511 . . .
I changed /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid 2wire341
wireless-mode managed
wireless key ******
iwlist s finds 3 ssid, including mine. (How does iwlist find anything with no
connection?)
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart, I see:
DHCPRELEASE on wlan0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67
send_packet: Network is unreachable
192.168.1.1 was the IP of the old router I had, now disconnected. The
ATT "Gateway" - combo router, modem and whatever else - is 192.168.1.254. I
haven't a clue where that wrong IP is coming from:
grep -r 192.168.1.1 /etc
/etc/ppp/options:# ms-dns 192.168.1.1
route -n comes up blank, of course. route -n on the desktop gives
192.168.15.0 as the Destination. I think the ATT system is DSL. Win2k
connects with no problems.
Any hints, answers, pointers, etc. greatly appreciated. Thanks.
