I have a dwl-g650 "na.b5", h/w ver ":b5", f/w ver :2.54. I compiled the following into my kernel: device wlan # 802.11 support device ath # Atheros device ath_hal # Ath_hal device ath_rate_onoe device wlan device wlan_wep # WEP support I type in: # ifconfig ath0 channel 7 ssid gibsons wepmode on # ifconfig ath0 weptxkey *****etc. # ifconfig ath0 up # ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe0f:3f66%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 ether 00:13:46:0f:3f:66 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid gibsons channel 7 bssid 00:0c:41:a0:2c:46 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 38 protmode CTS bintval 100 # ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.107.15 # ping 192.168.107.1 I am unable to ping my router.
