Getting a Mac-Mini got me thinking about setting up the D-Link DSL-740R
adsl router with built -in wi-fi that I've had sitting in a drawer for
several months.
When I first got it I couldn't get it to connect but checking with
Zen's help pages I found the error I'd made in configuring it!!
So now I can connect my Asus EeePC and Vaio laptops wirelessly.
Well almost the EeePC is fine but the Vaio is running Squeeze and LXDE
and there seems to be no way to search for wireless networks as there
is in Gnome. I have network-manager-gnome installed so get an icon in
the panel showing wlan0 is connected with a good signal but when I try
to connect to the internet get 'network unavailable'
/etc/network/interfaces has this
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid my network name
wpa-psk my password
iwconfig shows ESSID:"my network name" is as set
in /etc/network/interfaces but it looks like wpa-psk is not
the correct config as I'm getting the following from iwconfig
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx Invalid crypt:0 RX invalid frag:0
suggestions please ;-)
