Having recently spent vast sums on a brand new WiFi card (a netgear WG511T Atheros based card), I've been trying to connect to Norfolk's Openlink network. I appear to get a reasonable signal strength from within the Forum, and can detect three or more access points... However, dhcp refuses to pick up an address, and the hell desk is of little use.
Has anyone within the group been able to connect a Linux powered device to Openlink, and if so, what settings did you use ??
I've tried both madwifi and ndiswrapper drivers with a SuSE 10.0 install to no avail.
Regards, Paul.
