Looks like a little troubleshooting has determined there's nothing wrong with the setup--I disabled the key and it works! But the last thing I want is an unsecured wireless connection. Basically, I have a WEP 64-bit hex key for my wireless net. Any ideas?

I wish I could tell you it worked, but even though I followed what you
said and created wireless.sh and so on, still nothing--it runs and
shows up in iwconfig as connected to that, but still can't ping.
Also, just for info, Network Configuration gets stuck on trying to get
IP and then says it's unable to connect--any ideas?

Does ifconfig eth1 get an ip? Does eth0 still have an ip too? If both of those are true, you might disable eth0<br>
<br>
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down <br>

So I followed Justin Conover's ipw2200 how-to (very easy) and got my<br>wireless adapter to be recognized under the new fc5 test2 (i used the<br>newest firmware, though). But now I'm having problems actually<br>connecting. Basically, I went with what I know--kwifimanager and also
<br>system-config-network. The system-config-network shows my wireless card<br>and I try to set up a connection but nothing. Now with kwifimanager, it<br>shows all the ssid's of networks around and I set up in the<br>configuration my network, and its corresponding password, and it does
<br>connect, but firefox shows nothing. Any ideas?<br><br>Also--I tried networkmanager, including running the services<br>(serviceconf) and running it, but to no avail--/usr/bin doesnt seem to<br>have NetworkManagerInfo or something. Any ideas? Anyone else have
<br>these problems in the new fc5 test2?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Alex<br><br>--<br>fedora-test-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

If you see the device from /sbin/iwconfig<br>
<br>
/sbin/iwconfig <br>
lo no wireless extensions.<br>

/bin/su -c "/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid YOURACCESSPOINT key YOURKEY && /sbin/dhclient eth1 && /sbin/ifconfig eth1"<br>
<br>
just chmod +x and sh wireless.sh as your user and should be up.</div></div></blockquote></span></div><div><br>

Just realized I should test out NetworkManager when I get home tonight :) <br>
