Pete Holsberg keyed the following on 6/7/2007 11:25 AM:
Just for fun (this is a hobby, after all!), I decided to install LinuxI ran miniWifi.py and got the following:
Mint 3.0 Cassandra to see how it handled my wireless card.
At first it didn't recognize it but I found the Admin tool for
installing Windows drivers, and then lspci showed the card as a Marvell
88e8335 which I knew to be correct from my Kubuntu installation.
I went to Network Tools and found two wireless devices, wlan0 and
wlan0:avahi. Attempting to configure the first, I noted that it saw my
wireless network and my neighbor's. I set in the WEP password, set it
for DHCP and went to try a ping to my router.
No joy!! What have I forgotten about?
Additional information. Network Tools has a status panel for each
device. Under wlan0, all the vales were "not available". Under
wlan0:avahi, everything had a value -- even the hardware address!
However, the values were not related to my network (eg., wrong IP
address) and when I clicked on Configure, it said "Interface does not
exist".
I'm puzzled.
Thanks for your guidance.
