Description of Problem: I insert the card, it loads the drivers, but it just doesn't work. 'iwconfig' shows no detected essid, and the access point is listed as all FF. The access point seems to think it associated, but there's no indication of that on the laptop. I ran 'neat', configured and tried to activate the device, no luck. I booted the machine back into RH7.3, insert the card again, and right away 'iwconfig' shows the correct essid and access point, and dhcpcd eth1 gets an ip right away. There's no wep or anything else interesting going on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I started with the stock (null), then upgraded the kernel and wireless-tools from rawhide to: kernel-2.4.18-12.5 wireless-tools-25-1 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA card 2. Try connecting to the network 3. Actual Results: No detected essid, no detected wap
I am having the same problem with the same symptoms. It also worked in Red Hat 7.3 for me.
I'm having a similar problem, running Redhat 8.0, with the stock kernel (2.4.18-14) and a Cisco 350 802.11b WiFi card. The card came up fine the first time, but ever since then it refuses to get an IP address from the DHCP server. The verion of wireless-tools is wireless-tools-25-1. To provide a background, the DHCP server is a Linux box running ISC's DHCP-3.0.1pl2, and is on the same VLAN as the wireless access point, which is a Cisco 340 AP. WEP is turned off. The Linux box also acts as a router to the internet, and has the IP address 192.168.56.1. The DHCP block is 192.168.56.100 - 192.168.56.200. The laptop originally acquired the IP of 192.168.56.111 from the DHCP server the first time it was inserted. Here is more debugging information that might help: 1) This is the output from tcpdump. 192.168.56.111 is the IP address that the card got when it was inserted for the first time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [maxx@seawulf maxx]$ sudo tcpdump -i eth1 tcpdump: WARNING: eth1: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: listening on eth1 18:17:05.000178 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x658db84b secs:5 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:17:19.000248 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:17:23.000185 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 secs:4 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:17:31.000185 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 secs:12 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:17:44.000186 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 secs:25 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:18:04.000181 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 secs:45 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:18:17.000190 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x2453f669 secs:58 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 18:18:20.085530 arp who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.111 18:18:21.084035 arp who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.111 18:18:22.084032 arp who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.111 tcpdump: pcap_loop: recvfrom: Network is down ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) While I have tcpdump running in an xterm, I attempt to restart the networking by issuing an /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart command (both this step and the above step are performed in parallel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@seawulf pcmcia]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth1: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

I noticed that there was a similar ticket for RedHat 7.3 which seemed to be unresolved, and was wondering if you guys know about/have a fix for this yet. Thanx-
it would be interesting to see if the i586 kernel (as opposed to the i686 kernel) fixes this. If it does I have a better idea where to look ;(
I tried it with the i586 kernel shipped with 8.0, (2.4.18-14-i586), and it does not work for me with this kernel either. I did not try a complete reinstall, only using rpm -ivh --oldpackage to install the kernel.
I installed PHOEBE yesterday, and the wireless card is working again with that beta version. I haven't had time to try to look at what specifically might have fixed it, but I hope this helps somewhat :-)
Just noticed this when I was looking up the status of a previous bug...I have had problems with the Cisco Aironet 352 and fixed them according to the information I left in Bug# 79869. It's been the fix for other people I work with, maybe it will help solve some of these problems. Basically, neat was setting the card rate for 11Mb/s and it worked fine after I manually set it for auto. I just had to edit the RATE entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Kind of an easy fix, although I don't understand why it refused to work when set at 11...
