Debian wifi config.

[kirilmarinov]

Hi all.i'm new here and need some help with my wireless network.after long search i manage somehow to reach this point and now i have no idea what to do:
debian:~# iwconfig eth2
eth2 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"" Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Invalid
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

my debian kernel is 2.6.18-5-686
wireless mode ->Mixed (11b+11g)
wirelles channel 11
essid broadcast -> enable
Allowed Client Type -> wpa/wpa2
Authentication -> pre-shared key
Encryption Technique -> AES
wireless car - Linksys PCI Adaptor with SpeedBooster

Thanks in advance.

what ARE you trying to do?

[kirilmarinov]

i'm trying to use mi wireless card.for the moment i have wired connection but want to remove the cable forever,to make my wireless card working and to connect to the router.

[DimaYasny]

ok

I need the dmesg, lspci, tail /var/log/messages

I´ve just finished fighting with my own broadcom on fedora last night, but it is working fine now

and by the way: велкам на данивеб :)
