I have mdk 8.2 working on my ibm tp600e and it found my cards perfectly well, as seen in dmseg, even though I'm a little confused that it detects the orinoco card 3 times....atleast the mac adress.
Well, what I can see the card works perfectly well, BUT i can't get it out on the net.
It's connected to my ISPs AP, atleast i should. It works fine in w2k.
BUT when I take a look at the mdk control center in 8.2 and look at the connection, it says it's not connected.
I try to connect and you see the send/recive info and you can se that both work fine.
Then the system says "there it something wrong with your connection, check controll center"
It not much I can do there.
The orinoco card is eth0 and I have marked it to get the ip from the dhcp server..
the other card is 3com589 and thats suppsed to be gateway for the rest of the computers on the network.
in the expert mode you give the gateway adress, I suppose that's my ISPs gateway that I should state here...
Please advice me. I'm i linux newbie so try to overclear in your answer :-)
I'm considering to run slackware, but I didn't have the time in friday to download those isos....
