Wifi Cards And Net Connection Help Help !

[louigi600]

The thing is, the card is not associated with any device name. Both wlan0 and wifi0 does not work; I don't think the system recognizes the card as a valid network card. When I was using beta3, I had to add the manfid information to hermes.conf - which is missing in rc121. I think it will work once the system recognizes the card.

So there is no way to add card information manually in rc121?

Well have a look in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
Although that may only work for cards compatible with hostap ... I've no idea if your card works with the hostap module ... but you could still try to add some other cards too.

Have a look at what dmesg says after card insertion, you may get some idea to what's going on.

There is no /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf in rc121 as far as I know. The hostap driver pakcage in the feed requires /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia script, which is also missing in rc121. I guess this has something to do with the kernel chance in beta4/rc121, but so far I haven't got a clue where to work things out.

Well on my C760 r121 farly fresh install hostap_cs.conf exists for sure ... but the /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia is not there.

Maybe you have some filesystem corruption or a faulty installation ?

I just checked md5sum of both kernel.img and rootfs.img, and they are all correct. Is this some difference between Cx60 and CXX00? Can anyone who's using C1000 confirm this lack of /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf?

Some cards fail to take iwconfig commands till the device is up ....
so first do

ifconfig wlan0 up

and then do the iwconfig stuff

I have some news on this:
Yesterday, after having used kismet, I had a grate deal of trouble associating the wifi card to my Access Point.
I did all sorts of things including ejected, inserted, suspended, resumed the card.
In the end what seamed to work was:
insert the card
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid your_sid mode managed
dhcpcd wlan0

At this time it will not associate because it recognises the wrong MAC address for the access point (44:44:44:44:44:44).
Now wait for the dhcpcd to timeout, apparently it also does some resetting and start over again, second time misteriously works.

Anyone know how to manually reset the card without having to wait for dhcpcd to time out ?
