[Prism54-users] Never been so far

[Laurent Decreusefond]

I finally compiled everything under 2.4.23 and when I am loading prism54,
it says that firmware can't be loaded but still loads the modules. By
issuing
iwconfig eth1 mode Ad-hoc
i obtain
eth1      Netgear WG511  ESSID:"versailles"
          Mode:Ad-Hoc  Channel:1  Cell: 56:BB:57:92:1B:C4
          Bit Rate:54Mb/s   Sensitivity=20/0
          Retry min limit:8   RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:48
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

and ifconfig eth1
eth1      Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:09:5B:65:CB:5F
          inet adr:192.168.0.5  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Masque:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:3078 (3.0 Kb)
          Interruption:11


I can ping 192.168.0.5 but the LED is still flashing and when I try to set
a route via eth1, it says the network is unreachable. What's wrong ?
