Wireless Card Activated, but no connection

[Booyaka]

Hi I just installed my Linksys wireless card (WMP11V27) the other day when I installed Fedora Core 4 for the first time. I used ndiswrapper, and everything went ok, but I had to install a Windows partition today and had to reinstall FC4. I've set up a dual boot system, but this time around the internet does not work, even though I used the same procedure as the first time around.

The drivers are installed via ndiswrapper, it sees the card with a #ndiswrapper -l, modprobing it worked, then I went to system-config-network and activated it, however when I restart the computer I still have to internet. If I go back into system-config-network, the card is still activated. Does anyone have any idea why I can't get this card to connect?

Are you able to see the access point?

iwlist scan


If you can see the access point but you are not getting an IP address try the following:

A long shot is to check the ifcfg-* file for your wireless interface. If there is a CHANNEL entry there try commenting it out or deleting that line.

Then see if you can establish a connection to the access point.

If you are getting an IP address and can ping the access point or devices on the LAN check /etc/resolv.conf and your default gateway settings. (netstat -rn)
