I'm trying to connect my pc to my router unsuccessfully for a couple of
days now and have run out of ideas. Perhaps somebody can help me along.
I'm using a linksys WMP54G PCI card; the router is a linksys WRT54G. My
OS is debian based Elive 1.0 (GEM) which uses a 2.6.18 linux kernel.
Here's what i've done so far:
Initially i tried the out of the box native rt61 driver pre-installed by
Elive, which did not work at all (the wmp54g couldn't see the router).
Next i used ndiswrapper. This would seem to have been reasonably
successful. The driver and PCI card seem to be working and can see my
router. I've put the outputs of
1. $ lshw -C network
2. $ ifconfig
3. $ iwlist wlan0 scan
4. $ iwconfig
at the end of this posting. However when i try to connect with
$ dhclient wlan0
all i get is:
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database.
Sleeping.
This is while trying to connect to an unencrypted network! So the
problem has nothing (yet) to do with wpa.
No it is not. If you look at the output of iwlist s you see that the
network with essid Meinert has encryption on, and the output of iwconfig
shows you are trying to connect to Meinert.
Any help appreciated. Here are the outputs mentioned above:
