netgear wlancard (wg311)

[fabian_wuertz]

hi i have a netgear wlan card (wg311) and a netgear wrouter (wg302). knoppix has detected the wlan card without problems (ath0). i have try to configure the wlan with the knoppix script "wavelan configuration".

My inputs:
Essid: myWan
NWID: <the mac address of the wlancard (wg311)>
mode: auto
channel: 5 (i'm sure it's right)
encryption key:
addditional parameters
for iwconfig:
for iwspy:
iwpriv:

when i run the script there is no failure but the network doesn't work. under windows the wlan works.

The wlcardconfig script only configures the wireless aspects of the card.
It doesn't bring it up.If you are using dhcp on your network,after running
the wavelan app,try "pump -i ath0" as root.If you assign static ip's,
run netcardconfig and choose no.You could also use ifconfig from
the command line.
man ifconfig

Have Fun
