I'm getting weirdness trying to setup my wireless card to connect via
DHCP. When I bring up the card I don't get any error messages, but I
also don't pull an IP. /sbin/ifconfig gives:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:2360 (2.3 Kb)
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100
/sbin/iwconfig gives:
eth0 ATMEL REVE ESSID:"CMU"
Mode:Managed Channel:6 Access Point: 00:06:25:71:94:33
Bit Rate:11Mb/s
RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:40 Signal level:100 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Finally, 'cat /var/log/messages' gives:
cardmgr[1346] socket 1: Belkin F5D6020
cardmgr[1346] executing: 'modprobe pcmf502re'
cardmgr[1346] executing: './network start eth0'
cardmgr[1346] + /sbin/dhcpcd -d eth0 >/dev/null 2>&1
In my limited knowledge, these all seem correct (that's even the correct
ESSID and Access Point. Yet, I have no IP and no access. Anyone have
any idea what's going on? I'm running a standard install of Slack 9.1
on a ThinkPad with the 'pcmf502re' drivers compiled as modules.
