wireless interface ath0 on a sony k-13

[metonymy]

I have a sony k13 laptop running knoppix 3.4. Knoppix detects my wireless card as ath0. However, using iwconfig I cannot seem to configure the card correctly. The wireless rounter is a linksys WRT54G hooked onto a windows xp home box. I disabled security on the router to make the process simpler (I know, bad idea) however I still can't seem to get the magic combination required to get the thing working. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry I can't be of much help here.

I googled and found the following link which may be of help to you:

HI:

I've got a Sony Vaio Z1ra (centrino) Knoppix 3.4 works for me with my wireless card.
After starting Knoppix I run "wavelan configuration" leaving everything blank except the ssid and wep password. (My wlan is encripted and does not broadcast ssid.)
Next I run "netcardconfig" from the root terminal. Pick "Eth0" and "use dhcp broadcast."
I've since put "netcardconfig" on the desktop with "find files" and copying the result to the desktop.

That's it,

Bob

That's very interesting. I did get wireless to work for me, albeit without WEP. Here's what works for me to get an unencrypted session.

modprobe ath_pci
iwconfig ath0 channel 9 ESSID mynetworkname
pump -i ath0

I'm still working on getting WEP to work for me. When I do, I will post the info.
