wlan0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

[armann]

Hi.

This is my wireless card:

lspci | grep -i wireless:

0001:01:01.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

When I try to activate it I get this:

wlan0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

iwconfig:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"VLAN"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

sit0 no wireless extensions.

I'm running Fedora 9 on a G5 PPC.

I can see it in the Network Configuration Gui tool.

ifcfg-wlan0:

TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=wlan0
HWADDR=00:14:51:83:4a:74
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
ESSID=VLAN
CHANNEL=1
MODE=Managed
RATE=auto

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hello armann

Join the discussion on the thread Wayne points to.

I have your card here so part of my response to "swartzism" doesn't apply, but the "cutting the firmware" part and the method of controlling the card do.
