Hi all list,
I am trying to set up a BENQ AWL400 in my ibook g4. I'm using Linux 2.6 with
benh patchset (other kernels/pachtsets don't work fine). When i plug the
card, metalog tells the following:
Jan 2 17:30:56 [kernel] hub 4-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned
address 4
Jan 2 17:30:56 [kernel] /usr/src/at76c503a/usbdfu.c: USB Device Firmware

Anyway, i can change essid, channel, nick... iwconfig parameters; but when i
try to set an static ip i get this error (using dhcp to adquire one fails
too):
americana root # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.232.50
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Bad address
In addition, metalog says:
Jan 2 17:32:44 [kernel] /usr/src/at76c503a/at76c503.c: submit_rx_urb:
dev->read_urb is NULL
I can see the iface with the ip:
americana root # ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:9D:4B:71:A7
inet addr:192.168.232.50 Bcast:192.168.232.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
But if i try to bring it up:
americana root # ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Bad address
And metalog says the same:
Jan 2 17:35:25 [kernel] /usr/src/at76c503a/at76c503.c: submit_rx_urb:
dev->read_urb is NULL
I don't know if is a 2.6 compatibility problem or it cames from the big
endian architecture. I'll try using a 2.4 series kernel ASAP and i'll keep
you informed.
Usefull data:
americana root # uname -a
