Okay, now I'm running a kernel with 16k stacks. I also loaded ndiswrapper 1.5.
I can load everything like this:
ndiswrapper -i /install/ndiswrapper/broadcom/bcmwl5.inf /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key my_key_goes_here /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid my_ssid_goes_here /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
One more thing. If I run iwconfig after running the above commands I get this:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:25 dBm RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
It doesn't show the ESSID, says Encryption is off, and Access Point address of 00:00:00:00:00:00.
I assume these settings are part of my problem. Why didn't the settings "take"? Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I think the channel may have an affect like this. What channel is the AP using? Then set the card to the same channel.
Thanks, James
