wireless connection
Hi
Having a problem getting the Orinoco silver
to work on Redhat 7.3. (new full install)
On install it worked - sometimes - but I had to manually set the default gateway to the wireless instead of the 10/100 ethernet card.
Most often I had to restart pcmcia to get it going properly.
Now its all broken. (I'm not sure why!)
The thing starts with the "beep-beep" to say the card is active etc. - the network,mask, etc. is all set - but it somehow doesn't see the gateway.
"network unreachable!!" when I ping.
I can activate/deactivate both network cards without problems -- and checked that the "pcmcia restart" uses and loads the correct modules.
The 10/100 on eth0 installs without any hassles.
Installing it on M$w2k it works....
I've gone thru all the setup files, as when I installed it for 7.1. (where I recompiled the kernel to get it to work). All seems fine.
I think there is something small I'm missing.. Any ideas?? Is there a trace or some such I can try to see what is cooking? Using "rc3" I can see activity on it. Don't really know what the red/green traces are telling me though
Any other programs I can use to monitor this??
Like some sort of sniffer??
Tx in advance
