Hi all,
I've just done a clean install on an IBM T30 laptop
using a Linksys WPC54G
v3 pcmcia card.
I have installed the linksys driver using
ndiswrapper and the module loads
correctly and the dmesg output is correct. I have
also setup
NetworkManager to start automatically when logging
into the desktop. The
problem I am having is that when I click on the NM
applet I can choose
between wired/wireless and I can see all the WAP's
around me including my
own, but when I try to connect to any wireless
network I can't connect. I
have tried with encryption both on and off and it
just fails.
If I switch to the wired connection, instant netowrk
connectivity. I'm
stumped as to why I can see all the wireless
networks but not connect to
anything? I have everything configured with DHCP and
noticed a DHCP bug
filed for NM. Could this be my problem?
Obviously the card is working as it powers up
correctly and can scan
wireless networks. Why can't I connect to any??
IDEAS??> --
No ideas I'm afraid. But I get exactly the same problem. I've used
NdisWrapper and NetworkManager on this laptop since FC3, but since
upgrading to FC5 I get exactly the same problems as you describe.
I had to kill off NetworkManager and bring up the wireless via the
iwconfig commands.

PS Does NetworkManager work with KDE yet? Last I heard there was no
NetworkManagerInfo applet equivalent on KDE so I could never run it.
