Hi,
I have here Dell Inspiron 2200 with this internal wifi card:
02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318
[AirForce One 54g]
802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0005
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
Memory at dfdfe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
So I have to use ndiswrapper (currently 1.18 with kernel
2.6.17.3 -- vanilla kernel just with suspend2 patch) and it uses
bcmwl5 driver.
The distribution is Debian/testing (nm 0.6.3-1) and when trying
to connect with network-manager (using KDE, so through
knetworkmanager), I get attached stuff in /var/log/syslog.
When using just plain ifup just with this configuration (no WPA
is necessary):
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
hostname chelcicky
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
wireless_essid ceplovi
up /usr/local/sbin/setsmtp outgoing.verizon.net
then everything works perfectly well without any problems and
network is up on the first try. I am not sure whether I need to
set hostname at all. And this is my current dhcp lease:
lease {
interface "wlan0";
fixed-address 192.168.1.45;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 3600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.1;
option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.1;
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
option domain-name "vysocina";
renew 4 2006/6/29 03:15:25;
rebind 4 2006/6/29 03:40:08;
expire 4 2006/6/29 03:47:38;
}
Any ideas, what's wrong with my configuration, or is it a bug in
NM?
Thanks,
Matěj
