I'm running Psyche (8.0) on my laptop, and trying to configure my
wireless card. I must be having a problem in doing so, as when I 'up'
the interface, I don't get a dhcp address.

I had previously configured this under Valhalla, and I had no problems
getting thi s working using /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. Under Psyche,
I've tried:

- using wireless.opts
- putting the settings inside
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
- setting things manually using iwconfig commands

Nothing seems to work. I watch tcpdump -i eth0, and I see my dhcp
requests going out, but I don't get a reply, ever.

How else could I go about troubleshooting this? Does anyone else have
a working config for this card?

Thanks,

aj

Make the changes needed to match your network settings;

# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
GATEWAY=
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:02:2d:2d:2d:2d <-- put your card's MAC address here
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
ONBOOT=no
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
NAME=
DOMAIN=
ESSID=
CHANNEL=1
MODE=Managed
KEY=
RATE=11Mb/s
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255

I made a few changes to mask my network settings.
