Is it still relevant with -rc4 or with -rc5? I still get the same problem with -rc5 (but I will have to test it a bit more with -rc5). Just as a refresher: * I can set everything on the iBook with the wireless key plugged; * The wireless key *sees* the AP, even with encryption (that is, it grabs the MAC address of the AP, it (sometimes) shows me the signal strength, and if I issue "iwconfig wlan0 ap any", I see both the led of the wireless key blink and an increase of amount of data transmitted and received with "ifconfig wlan0"); * With everything set this way, if I do "dhclient wlan0", it doesn't get a lease from the AP---actually, despite the fact that it is possible to see the other point, dhclient goes, after some attempts of getting a lease, to background, but no address is ever gotten; * Just to rule out possible problems with something sent to the address 255.255.255.255 (which is reported as being done by dhclient), I tried to configure the address by hand via ifconfig, but, for instance, I couldn't ping my AP (which I can from other computers with a rt61pci driver and a PCMCIA connection); * As I mentioned above, I have no problems with the rt61pci driver, but the USB one doesn't seem to work (unfortunately, the iBook does not have a PCMCIA slot). With a notebook with an on-board Intel wireless card, I *also* don't have any problems. Well, thanks, for the help so far. I hope that we can solve this issue quite soon, as I need this iBook for work. I am willing to help as much as I can and test anything (even something that might be "experimental"). I think that this is as good a tester that you can get, right? :-) Thanks, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{mackenzie,ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org
