RE: wlan problems

Karsten.
Here's the script I use on my h5455:
#!/bin/sh
iwconfig wlan0 essid "My ESSID" mode managed channel 9 key mywepkeyhere
dhcpcd wlan0
ntpdate -b time.handhelds.org

Works all the time, every time. I'm running the latest unstable GPE.
You would obviously replace the dhcpcd with your ifconfig command if you
don't have dhcp enabled on your AP.
As you can see, I keep it simple, and let the card and AP work out the
rest. My only thought is that by specifically stating 11MB, if you don't
have a great connection, you're not allowing it to negotiate a workable
speed?
Hope that helps.
Bob

Subject: [H5400-port] wlan problems

Hello!
I have a strange problem. The wlan isn't working in the moment. I wrote
a script wlanUp, which has the following content:

iwconfig wlan0 essid FamilyWLAN freq 2.412G nick "" rate 11M mode
managed ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add
default gw 192.168.1.100

Most time it works without no problems.
But in the moment, I don't get an error message, but the led is flashing
red. Connection not possible.

Has anybody a hint, where I can search?
I can't remember that I have done something, so I'm surprised. I
upgraded today 18. May 04 using unstable.

Thanks
     karsten
