Wlan is not working

zbled · 2005-09-02 18:05:12

Hi everybody,

I tried to get WLAN running, but it doesn't work. Here's my Debian-Config, which works (the key is hex)

/etc/networking/interfaces

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
  address 192.168.1.2
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.1.0
  broadcast 192.168.1.255
  gateway 192.168.1.1
  wireless_essid home
  wireless_keymode open
  wireless_mode managed
  wireless_key 438EFF576F41B6EAF48EE966CB

So I addapted the above lines to arch-linux (at least i thought so)

/etc/conf.d/wireless

wlan_eth1="eth1 mode managed essid home key 438EFF576F41B6EAF48EE966CB"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth1)

/etc/rc.conf

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0  192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
eth1="eth1  192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

iwconfig eth1

I'm using a WEP-encryption.

Thanks for your help

Ummm I don't think you need the interface in that line.

that's weird....

when i boot with eth1 in Interfaces it's not working. But when I delete eth1 after booting and restart the network, it's working.

When booting without eth1 in Interfaces it's not working - and that's what iwconfig eth1 looks

eth1      unassociated  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate=0 kb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

i guess it should look like in the other posting
