Hi,
i built a system using buildroot to run on a mini2440 board with kernel
2.6.32
i installed wireless tools & dhclient with the system
i got a realtek 8187B usb wireless card, i installed its driver from the
kernel configuration & i used it on the board
the problem is that i can't access the internet
the board can see the LAN & i could bing a machine on the same network, but
no internet access
using dhcp (wlan0 is the interface name):
ifconfig wlan0 down
dhclient -r wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "3Com"
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
dhclient wlan0
using static ip:
ifconfig wlan0 down
dhclient -r wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.131 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
iwconfig wlan0 essid "3Com"
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
& i added "nameserver 192.168.100.2" to /etc/resolv.conf
is this right or enough to get the wifi working?
thnx a lot,
