Hello All,
I am not sure what happened to my machine but for whatever reason, my
wireless card has stopped functioning all together.
I basically rebooted my machine, cause my network dropped but that
didn't seem to fix the problem.
I am running FC4 and using ndiswrapper since it doesn't have
supporter drivers for Broadcom WIFI cards.
Things I have tried:
1. Tried specifying my network settings via the gui and via command line
2. Created a new network profile and entered my settings (using dhcp
and static IP address)
3. Re-installed ndiswrapper and Broadcom drivers
In between all of these I ran dmesg to try and see what was going on
but all I saw was:
ACPI-0105: *** Error: Could not allocate new owner_id (32 max),
AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT
ACPI-0509: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.BAT1._BST] (Node dfe261c0), AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT
And there are no other messages.
In /var/log/messages I saw:
Oct 13 09:14:20 Blade dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to
255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1
Oct 13 09:14:21 Blade dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Oct 13 09:14:21 Blade dhclient: No working leases in persistent
database - sleeping.
When I do an ifconfig I see:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:9F:99:9E
inet6 addr: fe80::290:4bff:fe9f:999e/64 Scope:Link

Can any tell me anyway i can fix this?
