Hi folks.
I'm still having problems getting my WLAN to work on my Sony Vaio
PCG-GRT996VP.
I've posted my a log of my session to
http://www.stainburn.com/wireless-session.txt
It looks like the device is configured to some extent because I can
configure it with iwconfig and see it with ifconfig.
However, it doesn't appear to be seeing any signal, or receiving any
packets, even though if I reboot to XP I get an excelent signal
strength and connect to the LAN no problems.
I think the problem may be the IRQ and memory as they differ from those
report in XP, which are IRQ 18 and Memory address ffe60000.
As I posted before, another reason I think it may be a IRQ problem is
that sometimes while I'm playing with this my eth and usb devices stop
working.
Could it be right that the two OS's use different H/W configs?
If not, how can I fix the settings in Linux?
