wireless internet on redhat linux ?
Hi,
Could some please help me in configuring wireles internet on redhat linux installed on my laptop.
When I booted using windows, I saw the following, which I think is the name of my laptop's wireless card:
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
I have run the following steps after seeing a forum:
extract it with the command
Code:
tar zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz
This will create ndiswrapper-version directory. Change to that
directory and run
Code:
make uninstall make
Login as root and run
Code:
make installlspci -n
Once the driver has been unpacked, locate .inf and .sys files. If
necessary, move these files so both .inf and .sys are in the same
directory. Some drivers also come with firmware files, such as
fwrad16.bin etc. These files also should be in the same
directory. Then install the Windows driver with
Code:
ndiswrapper -i netw3.infndiswrapper -l
This should report
"driver present, hardware present"
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
I got the following commands in a forum:
Code:
su -ifconfig eth0 updhclient eth0
But still no internet:
ifconfig
o/p :
lo no wireless connections
eth0 no wireless connections
Regards,
Girish.

iwevent
IWEVENT(8) Linux Programmer's Manual IWEVENT(8)
NAME
iwevent - Display Wireless Events generated by drivers and setting changes
SYNOPSIS
iwevent
DESCRIPTION
iwevent display Wireless Events received through the RTNetlink socket. Each line display the specific Wireless Event which describe what
has happened on the specified wireless interface.
This command doesn't take any arguments.
DISPLAY
There is two classes of Wireless Events.
The first class is events related to a change of wireless settings on the interface (typically done through iwconfig or a script calling
iwconfig). Only settings that could result in a disruption of connectivity are reported. The events currently reported are changing one of
the following setting :
Network ID
ESSID
Frequency
Mode
Encryption
All those events will be generated on all wireless interfaces by the kernel wireless subsystem (but only if the driver has been converted
to the new driver API).
The second class of events are events generated by the hardware, when something happens or a task has been finished. Those events include :
New Access Point/Cell address
The interface has joined a new Access Point or Ad-Hoc Cell, or lost its association with it. This is the same MAC address that is
reported by iwconfig.
Scan request completed
A scanning request has been completed, results of the scan are available (see iwlist).
Tx packet dropped
A packet directed at this address has been dropped because the interface believes this node doesn't answer anymore. An early indica-
tion that the node may have left the cell or gone out of range.
Custom driver event
Event specific to the driver. Please check the driver documentation.
Registered node
The interface has successfully registered a new wireless client/peer. Will be generated mostly when the interface act as an Access
Point (mode master).
Expired node
The registration of the client/peer on this interface has expired. Will be generated mostly when the interface act as an Access
Point (mode master).
Only some of those events will be generated on some wireless interfaces by the wireless driver, and their support depend on the specific
hardware/driver combination. Please refer to driver documentation for details.
