I've tried this post, linuxquestions.org, fedoraforum.org and google as well i can;t seem to find anyone who has thier wireless configured ifup cmd gets me an IP address but i can't ping anyone or my router. if i configure to broadcast with NO WEP or any key, i can connect fine. if I change my settings in both Fedora & my Router I can't connect. I get a "Set bite Rate not supported error and it tells me to check the cable. This is really starting to piss me!!!! I'm using the ipw2200 drivers 0.19-19 the driver seems to be ok cause I can connect with out all the security stuff. if I don't broadcast my SSID, I can't connect either so here it is... Broadcast SSID, No Security = Connection NO Broadcast SSID, No Security = No Connection Broadcast SSID, WEP Security = NO Connection NO Broadcast SSID, WEP Security = NO Connection iIve read the iwconfig man page followed the instructions I even we nt as far as coping the ifcfg-eth1 text file into another edited it by adding the KEY field to it put it back into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and reboot, I get the "Set bite Rate not supported error and it tells me to check the cable on boot. my notebook is dual booted with winXP PRO no problem there BUTif you read below it will tell you why i don't want to you it. -- Still Learning Linux Still HaTE Microsoft ***************** What's the difference between a southern zoo and a northern zoo?
