Description Joe Tuggle 2004-11-06 01:58:55 UTC

Description of problem:
The 3Com AirConnect 3CRWE737A wireless network adapter modules load
correctly (after applying workarounds described elsewhere). The two
LEDs on the card blink slowly, indicating that the card is trying to
associate with an access point. However, while within range of an AP
(as verified by another computer next to this one), this system fails
to detect it. Using the orinoco_cs driver (versions 0.13e and 0.15rc2).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wireless-tools-26-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generic FC2 install.
2. Apply workarounds for wireless networking described in other bugs.
3. Insert 3CRWE737A wireless card.
4. Make sure a wireless access point is available.
5. /sbin/iwconfig confirms no access point detected.
    

Actual Results:  Output from /sbin/iwconfig eth1
