The message 'no module loaded' is a little bit missleading.

It means that you haven't loaded a driver module using WAG. But the rest of the message indicates that your card is being recognized.

So, In order to help you I will need you to do a few things:

1. On a command console (rxvt) execute the following command and post the result

Code: Select all

iwconfig

2. On a command console (rxvt) execute the following command and post the result

Code: Select all

cat /proc/net/wireless

3. Investigate the wireless parameters of your access point:
ESSID, Encryption type (none, WEP, WAP), Encryption key. (Please don't post those as those should be private to you)

He doesn't have any drivers running for the card. He has inserted the card into the PCMCIA slot. /proc/net/wireless is empty. Iwconfig won't do anything, there is no interface.

Find out what model card you have and install the proper driver from here:

Once you get that set up, WAG will connect you to an access point.

What card are you using? (Brand, model, version and if know: chipset)

[D33]

Im using CNet CNWLC-811 (B)

I went to http://www.cnet.com.tw/download/index-wireless.html
and found a Linux driver. Shod that walk?

Looking at this very good wireless reference:
http://users.linpro.no/janl/hardware/wifi.html
It seems your card is a based on the Atmel AT76C502AR chipset.

I would recommend using the Puppy drivers.
Download these files:
