[ubuntu] Cannot connect to WEP network

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I cannot connect to the wireless network at work, athough I have no problems at home. I have connected to WEP networks before, and my wireless functions perfectly well (using Broadcom STA proprietry driver) in most situations. However, and to my eternal frustration I cannot connect to the network at work, although I can see it fine, seemingly handshake with it, but the connection process always seems to break down when requesting an ip address. The same hardware connects ok when I boot into windows, but for the obvious reasons, I'd prefer not to have to do that. I have little access to good IT support (it's a school, and not known for understanding of its infrastructure). The router seems to be a belkin model of some description. The ifconfig output is fairly boring, but it is posted below if you are interested. Any suggestions welcomed. lshw at pastebin.com/fdf2d464 output of ifconfig: Code: eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1b:38:2e:f5:a9            inet addr:192.168.135.180  Bcast:192.168.135.255  Mask:255.255.255.0           inet6 addr: fe80::21b:38ff:fe2e:f5a9/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:211718 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:145173 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000           RX bytes:272357024 (272.3 MB)  TX bytes:15580101 (15.5 MB)           Interrupt:16 Base address:0x2000 eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1a:73:66:fa:a5            inet6 addr: fe80::21a:73ff:fe66:faa5/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1           RX packets:251227 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1767988           TX packets:170692 errors:546 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000           RX bytes:311245276 (311.2 MB)  TX bytes:18241498 (18.2 MB)           Interrupt:18 eth1:avahi Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1a:73:66:fa:a5            inet addr:169.254.9.84  Bcast:169.254.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1           Interrupt:18 lo        Link encap:Local Loopback            inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1           RX packets:13795 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:13795 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0           RX bytes:1049420 (1.0 MB)  TX bytes:1049420 (1.0 MB) pan0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 5e:d0:17:d4:1f:a6            UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1000  Metric:1           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0           RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:46634 (46.6 KB) pan0:avahi Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 5e:d0:17:d4:1f:a6            inet addr:169.254.7.53  Bcast:169.254.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1000  Metric:1 (Hardware)

Extremely slow machine 3 years 16 weeks ago

Hello,

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post.

undue seg fault 3 years 10 weeks ago

In the following program though most of the working part of the program is commented out, it gives seg fault. reducing the value of MAX to say 10000 removes the seg fault. Why is this happening? it should be only 1 MB only. Is 1 MB too big for an array?

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAX 1000010
