Thread: Wireless setup issues


for strange reason have tried sucker work doesnt want too. here ask pros think issue may be. have had 9.04 running on server before , had , working , fine... decided mess around , install different operating system on test things out.. when went linux re installing it... weirdest thing... after configure in /etc/network/interfaces type in iwconfig see if connected... sure enough shows connected wifi wpa using tkip , wext driver. shows there no information being transferred.. , sure enough when try , apt wont let me anything... let me both iwlist , interfaces show how have setup.. dunno... maybe doing wrong.

first step did sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces create this.

code:
auto lo  iface lo inet loopback    auto ra0  iface ra0 inet static  address <my ip>  gateway <my gateway addy>	  dns-nameservers <i have 2 if them.. matter use?>  netmask 255.255.255.248 <this same subnet right?>  wpa-driver wext  wpa-ssid <level3>  wpa-ap-scan 1  wpa-proto wpa  wpa-pairwise tkip  wpa-group tkip  wpa-key-mgmt wpa-psk  wpa-psk <my_hex_key>
now go , type in sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

afterwards type in iwconfig , information.

code:
lo     no wireless extensions    eth0   no wireless extensions    ra0    rt2860 wireless essid:"level3"         mode:auto frequency=2.412 ghz         link quality=100/100 signal level:87 dbm noise level:-143 dbm         rx invalid nwid:0 rx invalid crypt:0 rx invalid frag:0         tx excessive retries:0 invalid misc:0 missed beacon:0
