I've noticed an issue with wxlan 2.0 too, but with the IBMprism
driver. It does connect to my access point, however then th IP address
is disabled. Can't enable it.
>From the command prompt, I configured the interface (ifconfig lan0
[ip-address] netmask [netmask] // route add default [def-gw]). Then,
the link works. However, it's still disabled according to wxlan.
I've written about this in the netlabs wlan list (through gmane),
which I can't read from here (I think). I hope to see an answer
tonight.
