am complete newbie when it comes to setting up wireless. My internet connection is encrypted WPA personal (enhanced). The cypher is set to AES and the PSK/EAP is set to PSK This acording to my router settings. When I move it over the name of my wireless connection I see
IP :0.0.0.0
Hardware adress 00:0C:F1:1A:E9:45
Subnetmask: 0.0.0.0
Broadcast: 0.0.0.0
Network : <name>
Hidden : yes
Access point:
Bandwith: Unknown
Signal Strength: 0
Frequency : unknown
Encrypted: yes
encryption protcol :WPA
Device Active: No

Hope this helps

i am assuming WAP "Enhanced" is WPA2 ?
if so, set the encryption to TKIP+AES and see if that helps.
What is the prand and model # of your nic?

Where would I find to change it to TKIP+AES. Would I have to change it on my router as well I believe my card is a Intel pro/wireless 2100 PCI mini adapter. How can I make sure that is what your looking for. BTW I did get linux working on my Desktop no problems and connecting to the internet if that helps..

Thanks in advance

after reading some info on your nic, you want to change the encryption WPA Personal,encryption type as tkip,and psk. You should find the settings under wireless security in the setup pages of your router. As root in a terminal use the command lsmod | grep ipw2100 to see if your module is loaded. There is some cood reading and updated drivers HERE (http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net)

I changed those and when I typed lsmod | grep ipw2100. This is what I got back

ipw2100 72244 0
ieee80211 34760 1 ipw2100

your module is loaded with the correct dependencies. After you check the settings on your router, double check your network configuration in Linux matches. Then you should be up and surfing.

What should I look for in my network configuration on my laptop
