I have a Linksys WRT54G router and a Netgear WG311 pci card. This setup
works very well with XP Pro but I am having problems in my Fedora Core 1
kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl system. I installed the
kernel-madwifi-0.0.20040107-1_2.4.22_1.2174.nptl.rhfc1.i686.rpm from the
WIKI site. When the interface is up I can ping the card but not the Router.
Also I am unable to access the Router through the web interface. I know
that it will work because I got it to work once but don't have a clue how
and don't know what I did to loose it. Can anyone point me in the right
direction to get this up and running?
hwconf has the following listing for the wifi card:
class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth0
driver: ath_pci
desc: "Unknown vendor|Generic ath_pci device"
vendorId: 168c
deviceId: 0013
subVendorId: 1385
subDeviceId: 4900
pciType: 1
pcibus: 0
pcidev: 8
pcifn: 0
My ifcfg-ath0 file reads:
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=

After the command ifup ath0
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig gives the following:
