Hi,
I just bought a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA WLAN card, which is recognized by my Pentium-MMX laptop with Gentoo Linux 1.4 automatically. PCMCIA is switched off in the kernel and wlan support is on, but no modules are compiled - instead, I've installed pcmcia-cs. I'm using WEP-128 encryption. And I can ping myself (192.168.116.2), but I can't ping anything else (not even the gateway) - I always get "Destionation Host Unreachable". Power management is disabled in the BIOS. Software output (I've changed the key and the ESSID for security's sake): ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:25:E0:CD inet addr:192.168.116.2 Bcast:192.168.116.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING 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:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 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:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) iwconfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"my_essid" Nickname:"laptop" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:60:B3:7A:63:4B Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX Security mode:restricted Power Management:off Link Quality:30/92 Signal level:-91 dBm Noise level:-145 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 route: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.116.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.116.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0 Thanks in advance.
