Hm, interesting.
This should print all your NICs, right?
# cat /proc/net/dev | awk -F: '/eth.:|tr.:|wlan.:|ath.:|ra.:/{print $1}'
And this should bring your wireless devices, right?
# LANG=C LC_MESSAGES=C iwconfig eth1 2>/dev/null | awk '/802.11|READY|ESSID/{print $1}'
I got this card up and running with WEP, but with WPA no driver works. I tried all of them. As far as I understand it should work with `hostap', but I had no luck. I configured my AP (WGT624) and found only channel 6 to be supported with `Auto 108MBit' (Freq: 2.437 GHz). Is this possibly causing the problem?
And the connection works as soon as you deactivate WPA?
Are you sure that you provide the right key/passphrase? Take a look at 'wpa_passphrase ssid1 key_foobar'. And some more configuration examples can be found in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa_supplicant.conf.gz Also give it a try with your orinoco card.
OPTIONS="-i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
JFYI: http://grml.org/faq/#wpa
I'm not really sure whether this applies to madwifi/orinoco drivers as well, so take a closer look at the logs and try different settings. (Or maybe someone else on the list uses a similar setup?)
should work, but doesn't.
And the configuration in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is ok?
BTW: I really like the way how grml works. Thank you for your efforts, it really rocks!
:)
I started grml-x wmii and this is really nice! The display is very decent and fast. Only Vim uses a bold font as standard. Can this be changed to a "normal" font?
Just disable the following two lines in your ~/.vimrc:
hi normal ctermfg=white ctermbg=black guifg=white guibg=black hi nontext ctermfg=blue ctermbg=black guifg=blue guibg=black
I'll deactivate the two lines also for the next develrelease, if no one complains then it will be shipped with grml 0.6. ;)
Where do I put `grml-lang at' for wmii?
Just add the following lines to your ~/.xinitrc:
export LANG="de_AT@euro" export LC_ALL="de_AT@euro" setxkbmap de
That's all.
