Hi All,<BR>
<BR>
OK, here's my tail of woe... I have the following good stuff:<BR>
<BR>
HP Pavilion zd7020; SuSE 9.0, 2.4.21_199; Linuxant 1.65; Broadcom 43xx driver v3.40.25.3 from Compaq/HP SP23107.exe; D-Link DI-624 g AP.<BR>
<BR>
OK, so the D-Link isn't so hot, but it's working with another laptop and a Netgear WG511 card. It also worked with the Pavilion's internal card under windows. Everything seems to be working up to the point where the Broadcom card tries to associate with the AP. I have two neighbors with wide-open AP's, and I can't connect to them either. I can run "iwlist scanning" and I can see the AP's. I can even run Ethereal against the wlan0 interface and it sees the vain dhcp broadcasts. No IP address and no association.<BR>
<BR>
I've tried silly fixes like killing acpid, removing IPv6, assigning a static IP address on wlan0, and a few things mentioned in this list's archives to no avail. I'm frustrated, clueless, and I'm beginning to smell a bit. So before I'm sent away as an environmental hazard, I'd be more than delighted to attempt any remediation steps suggested by the group.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance,<BR>
Tim Cahill
