I'm having some trouble getting internet/ssh working over
a Linksys wireless usb adapter -- model WUSB54GSC.
I did get it working one time, but don't know why or if
I did something to make it work. I see the access
point I want to use and connect to it. That seems to work.
Then iwconfig reports
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan2 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"brian"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: 00:1C:10:3B:06:97
Bit Rate=36 Mb/s Tx-Power=14 dBm
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Link Quality=57/100 Signal level=57/100
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But bringing up a URL or ssh'ing to another machine doesn't work.
I'm using Fedora 12. If I use an ethernet cable instead of the
wireless, everything works fine. Any ideas on what to check
or do?
Also in a separate matter ...
With F11 the screen saver would gradually (fade in), but with F12 it
happens suddenly. I would like to have it fade in gradually again
on F12. I've looked at the screen saver preferences but didn't
see a way to control that. How can I make it behave the way I
want? TIA
