I forgot to mention: the previous version worked fine without this problem, using exactly the same configurations (wireless-tools-21-3.i386.rpm).
Is this fixed with 23-2?
Unfortunately no - the same problem persists.
Can you attach the config file? It shouldn't even be trying to set the frequency from what I see there.
The file /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-Wireless: USERCTL='yes' DEVHOSTNAME='' NETMASK='' BOOTPROTO='dhcp' DOMAIN='' NAME='' HWADDR='' DEVICE='eth1' IPADDR='' GATEWAY='' TYPE='Wireless' ONBOOT='no' CHANNEL='6' FREQ='' KEY='off' ESSID='XXX' <-- set to the proper ID MODE='Managed' RATE='auto' PEERDNS='yes' NETWORK=x.x.x.x <-- set to the proper address BROADCAST=x.x.x.x <-- set to the proper address And the file /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-Wireless USERCTL='yes' DEVHOSTNAME='' NETMASK='' BOOTPROTO='dhcp' DOMAIN='' NAME='' HWADDR='' DEVICE='eth1' IPADDR='' GATEWAY='' TYPE='Wireless' ONBOOT='no' CHANNEL='6' FREQ='' KEY='off' ESSID='XXX' <-- set to the proper ID MODE='Managed' RATE='auto' PEERDNS='yes' NETWORK=x.x.x.x <-- set to the proper address BROADCAST=x.x.x.x <-- set to the proper address Note everything worked in 21-3. If you need any more info let me know.
Oh one thing probably needs to be mentioned: my kernel is 2.4.18-rc4, built manually (not rpm).
Out of curiousity, does it work if you use the 2.4.18-0.x available in rawhide?
Seems to work for me, with a gold card.
Ok for wireless-tools-24-1 rpm everything works fine now. (same kernel - 2.4.18)
