[SOLVED]wifi problem

#1 Post by ChrisPL »

I keep trying to make my wifi (Intel WirelessPro - driver ipw2100 installed) working but until now no success.
Below there is output from ip, wpa_supplicant and dhclient commands. Could anybody help me with it?

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
# reading passphrase from stdin
network={
ssid="asus_RPT"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=TKIP
psk=<set with passphrase>
}


ip:

link/ether 00:0c:f1:2b:15:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Intel PRO/Wireless 2100, 2200 and 2915 devices

Use iwconfig to see if your Wifi card is actually working.

On a side note to the original poster. It is recommended to use the "Code" button when posting cut and pasted information from the console.

For example (from your original post):

Code: Select all

ChrisPL, you dump a lot of code on us but don't really describe your problem at all.

so please do that first.

after that, take some time to provide the output requested in this thread.
