you've got the orinoco/hermes modules autoloading for your prism chipset,
which is a very good combination. is it an 802.11b access point? maybe the
network settings are incorrect? are you connecting to an access point with a
static address as you interfaces file indicates? or are you using dhcp, in
which case your interfaces file should have "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" instead
of "iface wlan0 inet static" and you would then comment out everything after
that. i attached my dhcp interfaces file below. when you use the wlan0
interface instead of an eth0 interace, i think you need to treat it a little
differently.
from http://www.tulrich.com/geekstuff/debian_tricks.html
"My /etc/network/interfaces has this in it:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_rate 54M auto
wireless_channel 6
wireless_essid XXXXX
wireless_key XXXXXXXXXX
(Replace the X's with your values) Then, "ifup wlan0" brings the interface up,
"ifdown eth0" to turn off the wired interface, and I'm on the net without a
wire. "
if you really wanted the static config, what does the command "iwconfig wlan0"
give you?
also, do the stuff Logan mentioned: "In /etc/wlan there will be
wlancfg-DEFAULT. Copy this file and change
DEFAULT to what ever your ssid is (cp wlancfg-DEFAULT wlancfg-foo) .
Then edit the file and make the appropriate changes for network foo,
where foo is the ssid you use for your network. "
...and make sure you have those wireless packages he mentioned installed.
Hope this helps. You've got the
