Problems trying to network a DL-610 to a DI-614+

[Guest]

Good morning,

I've just installed Kubunto onto a Dell M70 notebook, and I have to say, I'm impressed. It just worked. I've never had a Linux distro that actually installed power management by default, and had audio work correctly.

Well, almost just worked.

I haven't had luck getting my wireless networking working yet. After reading various articles and messages, I've got the card running using ndiswrapper.

I've used iwconfig to configure the card.

And it *almost* works.

If I put the card in Ad-hoc mode, it sees the ESSID, and the card connects. I can not ping the DI-614+ though. However, if I do an

iwlist wlan0 scan

it shows all of the details of the AP

But, if I put the card in Managed mode, I can not set the ESSID, and it will not connect to the wireless network.

My network is in Infrastructure mode.

My card is a DLink DL-610 (although in lspci it reports as a 510)
My windows boxes have no problems connecting to the Wireless net. I've turned off encryption on the router until this is resolved.

If anyone can give any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Let me know what output would help, and I'll be happy to post it.

Thanks for the help.

This sounds like a mac filter problem.. but it's probably not?
