Hi,
I am posting this because although there is a driver for PCI cards from DLINK (DWL-520+ card), it is not clear to me how to set things up once I have the driver working. (The driver appears to work, but I cannot get connected. I get the "NETWORK UNREACHABLE" error. When I run WINDOWS on the same hardware, I can connect .. so the hardware is ok.) I have read all the available HOW-TOs on this, and they don't address how to set up the network with DHCP (using this card), etc. The "netconfig" scripts don't work properly for this either. The scripts I saw on the websites were for static IP addresses and my DI-714P+ router uses DHCP to connect. Does anyone out there use DHCP with the DWL-520+ card? My eth0 needs to be the wireless card as I have no other connection. Network info: Slackware LINUX 9.1 --> DWL-520+ (Dlink card) Dlink DI-714P+ router w/DHCP Other WINDOWs computers connected to router I can't get my LINUX box to use the router infrastructure for the network. I don't have my ISP gateway set up yet, but I should be able to connect to the other computer (or at least ping them). thanks, Robert Batey Agilent/Boise |
