Im Having a Real Big Problem With Wireless Config in Debian.. EDITED

Tags:

Hi ppl,

im trying to configure my wireless network here over a loooooong time ..

i use a samsung swl-2300 pci card with ndiswrapper properly working ...

i put all that thing about the interface ... ip, gate, dns, netmask, essid ...

but i cant navigate ... cant ping nothing. :/

im getting crazy ppl.

i've used all kind of how-to's i could find...

The /etc/network/interface

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto wlan0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless_essid "ESSID"

The /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver x.x.x.x
nameserver x.x.x.x

Someone knows the answer?? Im trying to connect into a wireless internet provider.
Thx for the help

"i put all that thing about the interface ... ip, gate, dns, netmask, essid .."

Hard to read that. Post EXACTLY results of: 'cat /network/interfaces'

What are you trying to connect with? Some free access point? Your base station? What?

A small correction to Jai yen's post: the command should be cat /etc/network/interfaces

Why are you using static? Is

Submitted by bettlebrox on Sun, 2006-07-23 23:54.

Why are you using static? Is dhcp available?

One mistake I noticed:

# The primary network interface
auto wlan0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless_essid "ESSID"

Try changing it to this:

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless_essid "ESSID"

auto wlan0

Does your Internet provider

Submitted by tim on Wed, 2006-07-26 15:28.

Does your Internet provider use a secure connection? Then you'll need something like this in your /etc/network/interfaces:

wireless_key blah blah
