Hello everybody,
last thursday I installed the new 10.2 distro on my pc, I use a D-Link DWL122 wlan usb dongle for internet access via a wlan router and dsl. As long as I configure everything without any kind of encryption everything works as expected: connection to the wlan is successful and my wlan card gets an ip from the wlan router that also runs a dhcp server and I can access the internet and ping the router .... A soon as I enable WEP-encryption (yes, I know, WEP is not secure at all - but I still have one client using an acx100 chipset ...) the wlan card does not get an ip any more but the connection to the wlan still sems to be successful (iwconfig shows the ssid, the mac of the access point ... even the access point shows the mac of the usb dongle in the list of clients), I am just lacking the ip. I also had some trouble with getting an ip under 10.1 but I was able to work around that by setting the wlan staff (ssid, enc, ...) manually and also starting to dhcp-client (dhcpcd) manually. This workaround also does not work any more ...
I' am using the Siemens Gigaset 515 wlan router, with windows everything works as expected ...
Has anybody experienced something like that before ... any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Ciao, Fabian
Hi, with my 3945 some-chip in my DELL M90, I experienced something like your problem. I solved it by installing non-oss firmware, from CD6 (I think...). All looked ok, but didn't work until I did that. Also, later, I discovered some well-hidden dropdowns in the NetworkManager dialogbox, it says "passphrase", I needed it to dropdown to allow me to enter "hex". My experience with SuSE10.2 and my odd 3945 DELL wireless is now excellent. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
