I'm trying to get the Linksys WMP11 (not the broadcom chip) working under Slackware 9.1 with wlan-ng drivers (title says it all, doesn't it?). I know the WMP11 will work under Linux, since I've gotten it to work under SuSE 8.2.
I've followed the directions on the README for building the wlan-ng drivers for PCI cards:
make config
make all
make install
Then I edited /etc/wlan/wlan.conf, /etc/wlan/wlancfg-MySSID (with my real SSID, of course). I've added the following 5 lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
modprobe prism2_pci
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=MySSID authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 <my IP> netmask <my Netmask> broadcast <my Broadcast>
route add default gw <my Gateway>
And I did replace anything with brackets with proper values. I've also edited /etc/resolve.conf, but it's useless since I can't even ping a computer on the network (currently, a laptop with Slackware 9.0 connected with a WPC11). The one file I don't have is /etc/rc.d/rc.wlan. Do I have to create this file myself? I've seen some sites on the web, but they were for creating an AP.
Also, the simple logs of my WAP shows that the computer connects (identified through Mac addy). So what am I missing? This one just has me boggled. I'm almost sure it has to do with the rc.wlan file, but I don't know what to put inside it.
