the access point, but it doesn't manage to pick up a DHCP lease. If I
manually give it an IP, nothing gets through. When I boot into Windows
and give it the same settings, it works with no problems at all. I'm
not sure of the model of the access point, but I'm fairly sure it's a
Dick Smiths 802.11b/g.
Cardctl ident shows:
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "3Com", "3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0696
function: 6 (network)
I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config to add the card and driver to the list.
I added:
device "atmel_cs"
class "network" module "atmel_cs"
card "3Com 3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
manfid 0x0101, 0x0696
bind "atmel_cs"
I also downloaded the atmel firmware for the card and dropped it in
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
The relevant settings in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts are:
home,*,*,*)
INFO=3D"Home"
ESSID=3D"cubalan"
KEY=3D"11111111111111111111111111"

Iwconfig shows me:

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm fairly new to this whole wireless
thing. :)
