Re: Kernel 2.6 and Linksys WUSB11 2.8 error...

Hi Rob,

Well, I guess the driver is working now (???). wlan0 is now being 
registered correctly. I still can't ping my router. Here's what I did:

iwconfig wlan0 essid myid channel 8
ifconfig 192.168.0.5 [that address isn't being used on my network]

I then tried pinging my router (192.168.0.1), but I got a host could not 
be reached message. Same thing for apple.com and other addresses. I 
tried this:

iwconfig wlan0

All of the settings are correct for my router/AP. However, signal 
strength was 120 or so, and link quality was 0. Also, the Cell number 
did not correspond to my AP's MAC ID.

dmesg looks fine. I'm sort of a n00bie at networking, so can someone 
tell me what I need to do in order to be able to ping my router? If I 
can get as far as communication between my router and card I think I can 
figure out how to actually get on the net. Thanks.

Robert
