Hi,
Is anyone a linux guru? I have a laptop running the latest kernel and Fedora Core 3. I have a 3com 3CRWE154G72 wireless card in and running (after many hours messing about with Prism54 drivers, linuxant.com and the firmware), but I'm having dhcp problems.
Basically I managed to get onto the network when I disabled encryption. So I went about getting that sorted. I have set the key with
iwconfig eth1 key open [4] 1F1F1F1F1F
and I get a link light. The next trick is getting an ip from my router.
I get a Determining IP Address.... Failed typically. So I edited dhclient.conf to
I'm about to upgrade my router firmware see if that helps. DHCP works fine for my lovely Windows boxes but there is something up with this Linux rubbish I'm having to run
I have tried setting the ip static but that hasn't helped.
I'm getting 99% Invalid Misc packets when I query iwconfig, so its not connecting somewhere, I don't think its getting past the encrytion properly. I have tried turning off mac address filtering, no help, and I bet if I turn of encryption it'll all be smooth.
Anyone?

So I run dhclient eth1 and it runs the new conf file fine. I get thisalias {
interface "eth1";
fixed-address 192.168.1.222;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
}
And different intervals every time I run it. It ends with No DHCP offers received. I haven't gotten into networking greatly but I'd guess that the dhcp response will come from the same subnet mask as my lan? Why is it looking at 255.255.255.255 when I specified 255.255.255.0?DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
