part 2
Up til now I haven't had any luck with iwconfig or Kwifimanager
but I came across info on the web it said to do this:
# /sbin/lsmod | grep "orinoco"
and if there is nothing outputted then i have to load my drivers myself
so I:
# /sbin/modprobe orinoco # /sbin/modprobe orinoco_cs
now the Kwifimanager at least shows connected but oddly enough no ip!
here is the output of iwconfig:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"WillowHouse" Nickname:"Prism I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:0F:66:20:8F:93 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:211 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
yes the willow house is my ap :-)
just for the heck of it here's ifconfig:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:23:3B:D6 inet6 addr: fe80::209:5bff:fe23:3bd6/64 Scope:Link

RX bytes:5183 (5.0 KiB) TX bytes:372 (372.0 b)

ok, now that to me is odd. in ifconfig it says inet6.
then i dmesg and thot this was weird:
[drm] Loading R200 Microcode eth1: Error -110 setting multicast list. eth1: Error -110 setting multicast list. eth1: Error -110 setting multicast list. eth1: New link status: Connected (0001) eth1: no IPv6 routers present irq 5: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option.

so is this an irq concflict how can i "try booting with the "irqpoll" option" and should I?
my understanding of the problem is that I have great signal strength but no ip addy and that it's configured as ipv6.
btw here is a very small pic of the kwifimgr to show it's info:

and just for the heck of it i connected in xp just to make sure their ap was working and it was.
altho i did use a different wifi card in xp.
thanks in advance,

hi,
anyone here use FC3 and a netgear ma401 802.11b pcmcia wifi card?
if so does it work? did it always work or did you have to do something to get it to work?
