Hello everybody,

I'm having a little issue configuring my wireless network.
I succed to load the driver for my adapter (USB Siemens Gigaset 54, p54usb). I had a little trouble, but the driver and the device are working fine(or at least it seems like its workin fine).

After the driver are loaded, the adapter LED goes on. I bring up the interface
# ifconfig wlan0 up
then i look for my w-netowrk
# iwlist wlan0 scan
after I found my AP, I go like:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "MYAP"
i have put away security key(WEP) for testing, just to see if it's working. But it aint.
i go like this:
# ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.101 --> my wlan ip
# route add default gw 192.168.2.1
And then I try
# ping google.com
And it say host something(dont remember), but it aint working.

Anybody can help with this ?

Did you add a nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf ?

No, I didn't. Which IP goes there ?

And one more thing. The '>', '<' chars aren't on my keyboard. I mean, i canr write them down. I get a little square. My keyboard is 'croat.map.gz' .

I'm guessing the same as your default route (192.168.2.1). Nearly all home routers serve DNS.

nameserver 192.168.2.1

No idea -- better to start a new topic for a new issue
