I have just installed 9.3 on my laptop and can not get an Orinoco card to work. I am using YaST and it does not seem to connect to my network. I have double checked and my WEP key is correct and so is the essid. When I use my cisco card it works just fine. Any ideas?
Did you tried to setup your card with iwconfig instead of Yast? I've had the problem that some, but not all settings made with Yast were ignored by my card. So i could set my essid and the key in Yast, but when i've looked with iwconfig at the card, it doesnt show key or essid. At the console i could setup the card, so i've made a workaround. The settings made in Yast are stored in /etc/sysconfig/network in files named ifcfg-<cardname>, so my card is named ifcfg-wlan0-xxx (xxx is the busnumber or the MAC-address of your card). In this file i have to made some changes, so now it looks this way: BOOTPROTO='dhcp' MTU='1500' NAME='Marvell Ethernet controller' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='xxxx.XxxxXxxX' USERCONTROL='no' #WIRELESS_AP='' #WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='open' WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto' WIRELESS_MODE='Managed' #WIRELESS_CA_CERT='' WIRELESS_CHANNEL='6' #WIRELESS_CLIENT_CERT='' #WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY='0' #WIRELESS_FREQUENCY='' WIRELESS_ESSID='xxxxxxxx' WIRELESS_KEYMODE='open' WIRELESS_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' #WIRELESS_KEY_0='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' #WIRELESS_KEY_1='' #WIRELESS_KEY_2='' #WIRELESS_KEY_3='' WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128' #WIRELESS_POWER='yes' #WIRELESS_NICK='' #WIRELESS_NWID='' WIRELESS_POWER='yes' #WIRELESS_WPA_IDENTITY='' #WIRELESS_WPA_PASSWORD='' #WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:07:00.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' GATEWAY='192.168.1.254' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' PREFIXLEN='' /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down /usr/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid 'xxxxxxxxx' /usr/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed /usr/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.254 /sbin/dhcpcd wlan0 Maybe this could send you in the right direction to solve your problem. regards, Jens
