Hello, I used ndiscvt to generate the modules from the windows xp drivers for my wifi card with the help from http://www.pingwales.co.uk/tutorials/project-evil.html I have managed to get my wifi card UP and associated with my router, but I can not work with it (i.e ping bbc.co.uk, view web pages etc) Gnome's network monitor reports 0% strength, yet I can access my routers setup page but not any other webpage on the internet. When I go to view the wireless clients connected to my router it reports none are connected, yet I am viewing the setup pages! I disabled my realtek with: ifconfig rl0 down I do not have WEP enabled. Before Gnome started up I noticed something about another interface using the same IP as my ndis0 device. If you require any further details please ask. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Please see the following. desktop# ifconfig rl0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::202:44ff:fe70:125e%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:02:44:70:12:5e media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::24f:62ff:fe01:2c4e%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:4f:62:01:2c:4e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: associated ssid linksys 1:linksys channel 11 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 desktop# desktop# ping bbc.co.uk PING bbc.co.uk (212.58.224.131): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Network is down ping: sendto: Network is down ^C --- bbc.co.uk ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss desktop#
