PCI WIFI problem

Hi AF

I´m trying building a computer to replace my hifi. But I would like to get the machine on the net. its a desktop PC
I got a Sandberg Wireless G54 PCI - but can´t seem to get through with it.

When I install my Laptop its with ipw2200-fw . Is it the same procedure here or should it be another way to do this . And how ????

Thanks

Re: PCI WIFI problem

After reading http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rt2x00 and trying to get this to work I´m so far now. But I can´t get it to get and IP adresse.
Any suggestions


ifconfig looks like this:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:70:74:08:45

What about the HWaddr in wmaster0. That is not normal - but how do I change that

Re: PCI WIFI problem

follow the wiki, you dont need to touch wmaster, please edit /etc/network-profiles/template, to work with wlan0 and your wireless network and then add it to NET_PROFILES in /etc/rc.conf

rt2x00 is unstable and may not work. please be aware of this.

Re: PCI WIFI problem

I done that - but same result each time.
Now I reinstalled and trying again:

# /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig wlan0 up
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid pbj-it"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 wlan0)

# /etc/network-profiles/template
#
DESCRIPTION="Default Network Profile"

# Network Settings
INTERFACE=wlan0
HOSTNAME=stitch

# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOPTS="dhcp"
GATEWAY=192.168.2.5

# DNS Settings (optional)
DOMAIN=UDBY:DK
DNS1=192.168.2.5
DNS2=

But still not getting on with the wifi. At the first time I installed the driver the first time - iwlist wlan0 scan - shovwed my AP
But that has not happend since.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

So now I don't know what to do.
When I start the Kwifi manager - I can see that the signal keeps coming and disapering. But I have my laptop next to - And it shows a full stabil signal..

Please tell me what to do now? How can I make this happend and where do I do something wrong ????
