Hi,
I have a laptop from work here at home. I cannot touch any of the data on the disk. As a result, I am using Knoppix to be able to use this laptop.
The laptop does not have a wireless card installed, so I purchased a D-Link DWL-G630 from Best Buy. When I boot Knoppix 3.9, it appears that it detects the PCMCIA card. Here is the appropriate output from dmesg:
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6
ath0: 802.11 address: 00:13:46:13:0e:c3
ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BE traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BK traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic
ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic
ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x20800000, irq=5
Moreover, I have setup my wireless router to use WPA PSK. To access the network I have used the wpa_supplicant package on the CD. However, I get the following error:
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
Failed to enable WPA in the driver.
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
Failed to disable WPA in the driver.
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_PRISM2_PARAM]: Operation not supported
My configuration file is:
network = {
ssid='qshot'
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
psk='password'
}
Has Knoppix found the wrong driver? If so, what driver should I be using? How can I get this working? Should I return this wireless card and get another?
Thanks for any tips. I have been struggling to get wireless working for about a week now.
