I have a Toshiba Satellite L305 series laptop running Debian sid with a recent, stock Debian kernel version 2.6.29-2-486. $ lspci | grep Atheros 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) I am seeking to connect to a D-Link 614+ wireless router. For initial testing, the AP is unencrypted, unsecured. My wife's G3 i-Book with AfterTheMac USB wireless adapter connected just fine, on the first try. I believe I have the modules I should have: $ lsmod | grep 80211 mac80211 139680 1 ath5k cfg80211 21576 2 ath5k,mac80211 My wireless network interface is present: $ iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B 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 $ ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:63:82:82:40 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) However, I don't find the D-Link 614+: $ iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results And of course, dhclient fails to find a server. Am I missing something? What could I try next? I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks. -- Joel Roth
