Hi all,
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E7110, running gentoo linux, and
although I have the laptop for some years now I was never really able
to see wireless work on linux. I've been trying orinoco drivers from
2.6 kernel but without much success, although iwconfig reports a card,
it never reports signal strenght or link quality.
Here's the output of lspci:
02:0d.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan
chipset (rev 01)
Here's the output of iwconfig with orinoco/hermes drivers loaded:
eth2 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"Prism I"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
Sensitivity:1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/92 Signal level=-68 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Now I found hostap and I would like to know if someone can help me
recognize which driver I should use for this card. Thanks,
