Hello,
Looks like I was wrong about the card being detected.
it's installed, but I'm not seeing it in my lspci output.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
Check your connections; check your slot and the hardware stuff.
If the bios can't find the card; Linux can't either.
If it doesn't show up in the PCI device tree Linux has no chance to load a
driver.
Make sure the card is correctly seated; and make sure it is a supported
model as far as Linux is concerned.
googling for "linux wireless support"
will yield you the documents you need to acertain whether kernel support
exists.
Regards, Kerry.

Hello,
I've got it working, as far as iwconfig.
When I do iwlist scan it says that wlan0 is down, but ifupdown fails to be
able to bring it up.
I'm not totally sure where to go from here. it's recognized, and is wlan0.
Thanks,

OK, I've edited the networks file so that ifup will work with wlan0. now,
when I do dhclient, here's what I get.
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3
Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3
Sending on Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
the only thing that dmesg yields is:
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
which doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
I can iwlist scan, and see the router I want.
when I do iwconfig essid "my network" it shows up on iwconfig wlan0, but I'm
not able to see where to put in the wpa key--I filled out my wpa config
file, for wpa_supplicant but it doesn't seem to be connecting me to the
router.
It might also be worth noting that ifconfig wlan0 does not give an IP
address.
I hope I've provided enough info--I'm totally lost here. I've followed docs,
and it seems to have not worked as well as I would have hoped.

To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
Keep it simple then make it complicated.
Turn off your wpa for testing; and see if you can associate with the access
point when it is open.
This is a short term solution whilst you figure out what is going on with
your wireless setup.
At no point have you specified which sort of wireless card you have; which
limits how much anyone can help you.
Wireless cards often have 2 interfaces; one for configuration and one for
ethernet packets. An example,
my atheros based card has wmaster and wlan0.
wmaster is used for setting specific attributes on the card,
wlan is one of possibly many virtual interfaces.
Other cards have wlan0 and eth1,
You need to tell dhcp to use the ethernet portion of the wireless card, not
the configuration interface.
I'm sorry I don't use WPA on this network, I have legacy wm2005 smartphones
that only talk wep.
In order to get wep working I ran iwconfig on the wireless portion of the
card, set essid keys etc then ran dhcpd on the ethernet portion.
man interfaces
if this is a debian box, you can set up wireless in /etc/network/interfaces.
Beyond that I can't help much without googling up the information you need;
something you're more than likely capable of doing yourself.
Regards, Kerry.

Hello,
I've got wlan0 and wmaster0.
This is a modem/router combination, it's something quest threw together, so
I'll see if I can get it working by disabling wpa.
when I lspci:
00:0e.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
I've checked google and found some info on it, but it's only gotten me as
far as I am now.
I'll keep looking for where to set my wpa. I think that's the solution,
essid works fine.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm still having issues.
I've switched the router to open-wep, and set the key via iwconfig wlan0 key
and set essid.
I've tried setting the ap to mac, and it still looks like it's trying to get
an ip from a server that won't give it one.
Basically I need to move this computer out of it's current location really
soon, and I'm trying to get wireless set up so I can still have a linux box
to work with.
Any help would really be appriciated, hope I'm giving enough information.
Thanks,
