<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After a fresh install of Fedora (kernel
2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ), I installed the RPM's for linux-wlan-ng from Tim
Miller's page (version 0.21-pre14). After a while i got it working with a
Microsoft MN-510 USB adapter. As i'm new to linux, i wasn't sure of what to do
after upgrading the kernel, so i kept using the original kernel for some
weeks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Security concerns and the desire to learn more led
me to boot with the newest kernel (kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl ) and compile
the modules myself (version 0.21-pre20). I followed the instructions in the
Readme file, chose the default options and copied the i586 kernel config as
".config" in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl directory. Everything
went ok apparently and when i rebooted i even got the impression that it was
working, as "wlan0" was brought up without complains at boot time. However, i
could not connect to the internet. The worst thing is that i can't even connect
with the old kernel anymore, so i'm back into windoze! </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>After compiling i didn't change any files or scripts, as i
thought that the ones that were working previously were ok.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did the following checks:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>'modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1' </DIV>
<DIV>result: no problem</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>'wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable'</DIV>
<DIV>result: success</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>'wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<my current working ssid>
authtype=opensystem'</DIV>
<DIV>result: success</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>'ifup wlan0'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>result: ends up performing three failed ping
attempts and quits</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd appreciate your help</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
