I bought a wireless access point and it works fine with windows,<br>to my wife's laptop, and to my laptop with either the built-in<br>(Broadcom) or a PCMCIA card (Netgear prism54)<br>After a lot of effort, I have the card coming up, (driver loading,
<br>firmware loading) but I still can't pass traffic over it. I found the<br>docs on wireless extension in the interfaces file and it looks like<br>every thing is loading OK. iwconfig shows the right key and essid.<br>ifconfig shows the right IP address. The route table enteries are
<br>just the same for eth1 (wifi) as for eth0 (ethernet) Except different<br>IP address. I can't ping my other machine on the local net.<br>I tried the ping in the other direction, to the IP address I gave<br>to eth1 my that is no-go also. All the error counts are zero.
<br>The only real clue seems to be a message in dmesg:<br> no IPV6 routers But why doesn't it use IPV4? i don't see<br>any config variables for this.<br><br>Richard Harke<br><br>_______________________________________________

</div><br><br><br>Hi Richard,<br><br>I get the same error when i connect to my wireless router about no PV6 routers so i think that is fine. I use dhcp for addressing my ip since i go to coffee shops and use the free wifi at school. I use a dlink dwl-650 ($20 at fry's refurb) and madwifi-ng drivers and no problems. sometimes it will just not work so i will have to restart iwconfig by directing it to a non existent router and the set it back to the router i want. have not been able to isolate the problem when this happens to me but this trick seems to work.
