hi all i’m sorry me for my english…i’m italian.
i’m new to opensuse and linux.
I’ve got a problem making my wireless connection working…
i’ve got a d-link dwl g132 adapter
i’ve installed the driver using ndiswrapper one of the 2 lights on the device is on.
I can’t view any connection and i can’t see my device…
i’ve made a screen.
you can find it here
I won’t come back to windows for this stupid problem.
Thank you for the help that you would give me.
Have a read of the stickies in the wireless section,lots of good info there.
Andy
p.s. would have been better posting in that section
I made it work but I still can’t connect…
Now I can see the signals and i can try to connect.
Screen
I select WPA PSK and I insert my password when I try to connect but it doesn’t connect and asks me the password again and in the password field gives me a very long password that doesn’t mach with the one I typed before.
Why?
I’m a very newbie at this, never having used WPA-PSK, but I seem to recall much advice about installing wpa-supplicant for WPA-PSK
You wouldn’t need that if using WEP
???
wpa-supplicant is alredy installed
I’ve tryed to connect without wpa and wep but I couldn’t…
If it could be useful i can make a video to show you my problem
by the way now using a wep key is really unsecure…using aircrack in 5 minutes you can crack 64 bit wep key…
no one can help me?
It’s hard to decide where to start. I suggest you try really simple encryption, e.g. wep, and get it going OK with that. Then upgrade to a stronger protection/encryption. That way way can decide more easily where the problem lies.
Have you configured the wireless device using Yast, e.g. have a look at the screenshots in the section titled “Configure the Wireless Card Using Yast” in this tutorial: Madwifi or Ndiswrapper Wireless Network Drivers - Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 - LAN & Internet access
Hi Ste991, I am italian too.
First hint I can give you is: be patient!
Linux nowaday can do the same things as Windows does; perhaps just with a different approach.
Hence try to check, step by step, both the pc-side (hw/drivers) as the wi-fi router-side configuration, that of corse must match with the first.
Looking on your last screenshot, I figure that your encryption is off.
Here my iwconfig output:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:“TURION”
