Hello everyone, I have got an Acer Aspire 1356LCi notebook. I'm verry pleased with it, allthough I don't see any possibility to get the internel WLAN card working. I found out it is using this Realtec chipset: RTL8180L. So I downloaded the WinXP driver from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=rtl8180 , installed ndis as described in the handbook : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html . So far so good, it recognised my (internal ) WLAN card: ndis0: <Realtek RTL8180 Wireless LAN (Mini-)PCI NIC> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0xd0004800-0xd00048ff irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0b:6b:29:13:21 ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps But when I try to connect with my AP this is what happens: root@Riza# ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:0b:6b:29:13:21 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 root@Riza# ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.5.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid FStaals.nl.eu.org channel 12 root@Riza# ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.5.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255 ether 00:0b:6b:29:13:21 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 12 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 root@Riza# It changes the IP, netmask and channel perfectly. But it won't connect to my accespoint, the ssid stays 'clean'. What can I do to let it connect ? additional data: Laptop: Acer Aspire 1356LCi http://aac.acer.com/APP/AKC/INTERNET/AACPubli.nsf/0/8FE0B341F96B2A8A88256E9800629F91?OpenDocument#specs WLAN Drivers: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=rtl8180 Also when I view statistcis for ndis ( systcl -a | grep ndis ) almost everything it returns has the value "UNSET" example: dev.ndis.0.GCT_ACPR: UNSET Does anyone know what I have to do to get my internal WLAN working ?
