Cisco t30 wireless

[elliotbeken]

what i have done is swapped the wireless card for one exactly the same i now i can see wireless networks !!

i still have the problem of not being able to connect due to encryption problems.

the wireless authentication is WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is this wireless card able to connect to this ?

thanks for all the help so far

See my comment above. The WPA and WPA2 mixed mode is always tricky; I'd try WPA2 only and, if it won't connect, try WPA.

Looks perfect to me! You have a driver, a wireless interface and no complaints in dmesg. When you click the Network Manager icon, do you see networks? Your own? Does it try to connect?

By the way, I am surprised by this:It may be suggesting that, due to the age of this card, it supports WPA and not WPA2. I really don't know for sure. Is your network set to WPA2? Can you change to good old-fashioned WPA?

chili555 - I have a problem somewhat similar. same hardware, airo driver and the dmesg output is similar except there is a "airo(eth1): link lost (local choice)"

any clues as to how i can get this to work? iwlist scan shows the access point (both eth1 and wifi0) but iwconfig does not show an ESSID for either, neither does it show access points, says "Invalid".

Trying to set essid with iwconfig does not set it. Other parameters (like Mode) can be set, but not the essid.
