    Angry Wireless - Determining IP information for wlan0...failed; no link present......

    I've installed a wireless card using NDISWRAPPER. wlan0 has been created on my network settings and IWCONFIG, NDISWRAPPER -L commands show that hardware and driver are present.

    Also, using kwifi utility allows me to see all wireless networks (incluing my own). The problem is when I try to activate wlan0, I get 'Determining IP information for wlan0...failed, no link present.

    Have I missed something? My broadband router is the DHCP server. I've tried adding IP details manually but still no joy.

    Can anyone help? Thanks

    I had a hell of a time with the system-config-network utility after installing my ndiswrapper so I finally removed my wlan0 profile. Then in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local I added the following lines (edit according to your setting) rebooted and things worked. Good luck if this works for you please let me know. -Coffee


    Code:
    sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
    sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourid"
    sbin/iwconfig wlan0 channel 6
    sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
    sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open xxxxxxxxxx
    sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
    dhclient wlan0
