I'm doing this in Debian Etch:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed commit
yet I'm getting:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
I've also populated /etc/network/interfaces with specs from
/usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian and I've run "ifup wlan0"
with similar results. I have the D-Link DWL-520 card. I realize there
are later revisions ("C" and after) that aren't the Prism 2.5 chipset,
but lspci reveals:
00:08.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan
chipset (rev 01)
and respective drivers:
orinoco_pci 6656 0
orinoco 34580 1 orinoco_pci
hermes 7040 2 orinoco_pci,orinoco
I just want to attach this desktop station to the wireless router. What
am I doing wrong?
