I hope that some kind hearted soul can give me some hints and help in this becasue well, this one has me baffled.
I am running Kubuntu 7.10 on an Fujitsu/Siemens laptop. It has a SiS191 ethernet card and a Atheros(i think) wlan card. I have gotten to the point where I have the driver installed through ndiswrapper and as far as I can see this works. I can work through FTP but try as I may I cannot get HTTP to work.
So far I have tried everything I can think of.
- I have disable the firewall through guarddog.
- I have tried numerous dns combinations in my resolv.conf including the Virgin DNS servers
- I have put 192.168.1.1 router.local (for whatevever reason) into the hosts file
- the interfaces file has wlan as "iface inet wlan0 dhcp"
At first I thought that it must be a DNS problem but why should the FTP protocol work. Then i installed xinetd because I thought this might have something to do with this, although I have not made any adjustments to the basic setup.
Knetworkmanager will not recognise the card, I have installed and reinstalled again but to no avail. I guess I might try purging the files but then again...
It seems to be a case of everything lookes like it works but there is something that isn't,
Am I missing some magic Ubuntu file that would solve all my problems?
Or is this some kind of conflict in resources.
The only hint came out of /var/log/syslog which say that something like this:
Dec 9 11:18:46 Laptop kernel: [ 279.988000] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
What does this mean? I think the router is logged as IPv4 but the settings are all IPv6. Does this have anything to do with this, I have really no clue about IPv6 or for that matter IPv4.
Help!
