I have an ACER Ferrari Athlon 64 Laptop which I am
trying to connect with the internet. FC5t2 lists the interface as a Broadcom
Corp BCM4306 802.11 b/g Wirelless LAN Controller. I am trying to connect to a
D-Link router transmitting on channel 5. When I use the Netwrok Setup Wizard,
almost all the info is known. I know the wireless make, the channel is 5, the
rate is 54 Mb/s, the SSID is "Enigma" and I know my key. This information
greatly reduces the number to possible settings down to 5 possibilites. I can
choose Auto, Managed or Ad-Hoc for the mode and either an auto SSID or putting
in "Enigma" The wizard generates what it calls eth1. Although I tried the
"Activate" button for all possible compinations, the result is that it cannot
find IP information and the link failed. The same laptop ubder Windows at the
same location lists signal strength as excellent.
What am I doing wrong. Should
not the wizard make the connection?
