Hi,

I see that WEP is disabled on your AP so make sure it is also disabled in
your interface's configuration. You should also configure the ESSID even if
it is broadcasted because some adapters won't attach when the ESSID is left
to automatic.

If you still have problems, you should run "dldrconfig --dumpdiag" from a
root shell and send us the file generated in '/tmp' at support at linuxant.com.

I'm having trouble getting onto my wireless network.
I installed the driverloader, uploaded the driver, and
used redhat-network-config - I had to add new device
as it was showing up in hardware but not in the
network devices. when I try to activate it, it cannot
obtain an IP address. I turned off MAC address
filtering and tunred on SSID broadcasting on the
router (netgear mr814). It shows up in iwconfig scan:

eth1      Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:09:5B:47:FF:AE
                    ESSID:"cxiap"
                    Mode:Managed
                    Frequency:2.462GHz
                    Quality:1/1  Signal level:-53 dBm
Noise level:-200 dBm
                    Encryption key:off
                    Bit Rate:1Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:2Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:5.5Mb/s
                    Bit Rate:11Mb/s
                    Extra:bcn_int=100

I tried using the FAQ but for some reason it's not
getting an IP address. The router and dhcp work fine
in XP so I don't think that's the issue. Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
