Hello
I have problems connecting my HP 6730s to a Conceptronic C300BRS4 access point+switch via WiFi.
In Linux, I can connect to another open WiFi, but not to mine. Strange enough, Windows Vista connects flawlessly to both of them!
I have tried both with DHCP and static IP, even downgrading the WiFi server to an “11g” without any encryption.
My configuration:
- HP 6730s laptop
- Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100AGN
- OpenSUSE 11.1
- Kernel 2.6.27-0.1-default
- 192.168.1.1 -> ADSL router (gateway & DHCP server)
- 192.168.1.6 -> Conceptronic C300BRS4 Access Point
- 192.168.1.5 -> laptop
And several logs. Any help would be really appreciated. Oscar
