Hey everyone,
Just got a used Thinkpad R40 with built in wireless. I installed 8.04, everything works great, except I can't connect to my wireless network.
Encryption/MAC filtering/etc is turned off on the router. I entered the essid into the network applet and it just sits there and spins for a couple minutes, then goes back to the problem icon.
I checked my syslog, it shows something like the following:
Activation (ath0) started
Stage 1 scheduled
Stage 1 started
Stage 2 scheduled
Stage 1 complete
Stage 2 starting
SUP: sending command 'INERFACE_ADD ath0 madwifi /var/run/wpa_supplicant0

SUP: response was 'OK'
sending command 'ADD_NETWORK'
SUP: response was '0'
SUP: sending command 'SET_NETWORK 0 ssid xxxxxxxxxxxx'
SUP: response was 'OK'
SUP: sending command 'SET_NETWORK 0 key_mgmt NONE'
SUP: response was 'OK'
SUP: sending command 'ENABLE_NETWORK 0'
SUP: response was 'OK'
Activation Stage 2 of 5 complete
Old device ath0 activation, won't change.
last message repeated 7 times
Activation (ath0/wireless): association took too long (>120s), failing activation
Activation (ath0) failure scheduled
Activation (ath0) failed for access point (xxxxxxxx)
Activation (ath0) failed.
Deactivation device ath0
Does anybody have any idea what could be happening? My router logs don't show anything. Also, the laptop is sitting 3 feet from the router.
Thanks!
