hi all, I have the following ... Linksys BEFW11S4 Router Notebook with intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG I have installed the ipw2200bg drivers 0.19-19 I have the network tools install (perfer not to use the CMD line tho) networkmanager is installed but doesn't work ---- disabled as of now i've been trying to get my wireless to connect to my router with wep encryption, & not broadcasting my SSID (with no sucess) so far this where i'm at... when i have the parameters of in my router SSID -- Not brocasting WEP -- using XXXXXXXXXXX in fedora using aplications-->system settings-->network profile-- Home (created my own) followed instructions from tammy fox in help file edit the eth0 wireless and give it the above parameters when i try to activate the card I get the "cannot set bite rate error". it then trys to ping my router and has no success (obviously no connection!!) so I reboot. I get to the point of acquiring an IP address and the system hangs and hangs. I then throw in the rescue CD and edit the wireless config file so it is not activated on boot. I then reboot and I get this... Fedora asks my that it is going to remove my device (wait a minute, why is it going to remove my device ? because it couldn't get an IP adress? ) so I let it remove the device, the it tells me it found the new device ( my wireless device and asks me if want to configure it now or later. I configure it now , assign by DHCP, go to my other PC go into my router and change the settings to Broadcast the SSID WEP Not used ( disabled) I Do Not use and type of security measures so as the the wireless is concerned it is open to everyone. I then continue to allow my notebook to continue booting i remove the above profile edit the common profile and it finds the AP i get a IP and all is well. Now why is it that if i choose to not broadcast my SSID and impose a WEP key to be used that Fedora has to take a shit, give me the Bit rate error and remove my device?? I would like to have a Secure wireless network (at least some what) is it because the IPW2200BG drivers can't work like this yet? -- Still Learning Linux Still HaTE Microsoft jim lawrence
