I need help with wlan configuration of my Planet WL-8310 adapter on Knoppix 3.7 with kernel 2.4.27. Hardware seems to work properly, most problem occur while trying to register on my wireless network.
Configuration of the network (taken from Windows XP):
ESSID: PIRAMIDA
Network Authentication: Shared
Data Encryption: WEP
Network Key: **-**-**-**-** (40 bits)
Key index: 1
Access: access point (infrastructure)
I must use static IP (not DHCP), which (I guess) i know how to configure :)
Some additonal info:
freq: 2.472 MHZ
channel: 13
recommended bit rate: 1 Mbit/s
Below I've put some data obtained from 'iwlist'.
NOTE: the info are BEFORE I attempted any custom configuration (otherwise 'iwlist' dosen't work :(((( )
############## begin ################
iwlist ath0 scan:

Current Tx-Power:off
iwlist ath0 retry:

Thanks for any help and Happy New Year!
