Hi guys,

I'm having some issues connecting with an internal intel 2200bg, I can see the AP's but I cant connect to any of them.

I've been trying to use Wireless Assistant 0.5.5 and I've tried using iwconfig without any luck. I can completely remove the security settings on the AP's, using no wep/wpa and I can't connect. I can ping localhost and eth1 if I manually assign it an IP. I can connect fine when I'm using the 2200bg in windows and I can connect fine in Linux when I use the ethernet port. Any ideas? Let me know if theres some other command output I should post.

Thanks,
Paul

Re: 2200BG Can see AP's but can't connect

wireless assistant seems to be one of (several) of the hosed pieces of Edgy. Either edit your interfaces file or use iwconfig to input your settings for your card/network. Then use sudo ifdown/up on the interface. That got mine working.

I ditched the gui parts and used the cli only for setting it up and now its working, thanks!
