Hi! New problem!
when I go to wireless, and ping 192.168.1.1 (my router) I get this response:
Network is unreachable.

I used"ceni" to set wireless.

Big Edit: Moved to new users as this thread does not fit tips and tricks.

First post in this thread when I read it showed nothing for iwconfig,iwlist. Nada. When I responded. Now I see wlan0 is showing in readouts so disregard my Statement below. This sheds a whole new light on this thread. wlan0 shows up and running in ifconfig readout. End of Big Edit


Is Your wireless a USB stick?
No need to run inxi command as root by the way (just letting you know for info reasons)

Have you tried connecting with rutilt yet?

How about trying to get the driver going for your card

in terminal as root:

Code: Select all

# modprobe r8192u_usb
then do an:

Code: Select all

# iwconfig
You may also need to get from the repositories :

ceni

and

ceniwrapper

If you get nothing when you modprobe then you will need to get the driver, look here for info:

This is from my M/C shop desktop that runs a usb with a realtek chip set. Mine/chipset is a different version than yours though.

The reason I asked about rutilt

I run LXpanel in fluxbox. That is where my network monitor comes from in screenshot.

At this moment I have no computer at hand.

I can confirm that the hardware works perfectly. I was able to connect by wireless only through only the first time I set up my wireless network, via dine (the terminal). But when I tried to put a unique IP address for my network (eg 192.168.1.103) when ping 192.168.1.1 (my router) give me an answer:

192.168.1.103 Destination Host Unreachable.


doing a iwconfig ISSID known that is not right or I do not think is right.
ESSID:"f2\x0D\xB71X\xA3Z%]\x05\x17X\xE9^\xD4\xAB\xB2\xCD\xC6\x9B\xB4T\x11\x0E\x82tA!=\xDC\x87"

Using iwlist wlan0 scan:
My ESSID is"Alice-95901559"

Now i try to reinstall the antiX. I noticed that could also be a problem of my installation cd. I had him do a check to the fields and apparently there are ruined.

after! And with the aid you have given me!

maybe there are. The problem is this line:
Card Sitecom Europe BV-2 WL-349v3 Wireless Micro Adapter 150N X1 [Realtek RTL8192SU] usb-ID: 0df6: 004B

My Sitecom is WL349v1, not v3! and in doing so also loads another driver.. and not what it should! That is you who do you think?! Could this be the problem?

ok good to know.

making a thousand thousand tests, I understand (I think) that the problem is dhcp. In fact, when I try to activate the dhcp using either the command line with dhclient wlan0 or using wicd, does not give me any IP address! how to fix this?!

I tried to connect via another router (my phone is also a router) but in this case I did not assign an ip address. I'm beginning to think that it is the fault of the system that governs the dhcp antiX or similar. Any advice?
