as i have no lan in the living room, i thought it would be a good idea, to make my mythtv box wireless.
after installation of knoppmyth, i unplugged the lan cable and got my ASUS WL-138G PCI wlan card to work, thanks to ndiswrapper, desribed here: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpw ... stallation
when i reboot, i see the following:
Code: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval n and this is repeated six times after that it prints Code: failed to bring up eth0 when knoppmyth is up i have no connection to the wlan router. when i run Code: dhclient wlan0 it says the same: Code: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval n although i added ndiswrapper to the /etc/modules. so i have to repeat the steps Code: iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted XXXXXXXX
iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID
dhclient wlan0
and now my wlan adapter is working... how can i get rid of eth0 and just use wlan0?

When I was using Wlan, I just went into bios and disables the built in lan port. That is the easiest way. If it is a seperate card, then just yank the card.

edit /etc/network/interfaces
remove auto eth0
add auto wlan0
for more wlan options search the forum it's been covered many times.

did that, did not help
this is what my /etc/network/interfaces looked
Code: auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp changed it to Code: auto lo wlan0
iface wlan0 inetdhcp
wireless_essid #####
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_key off
dhclient wlan0
during startup it says something he did not know lo=lo
if i just write auto wlan0 at the first line he complains about he did not know wlan0=wlan0...

try this
Code: auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid #####
wireless_key verylongwephexkeyhere #only use this line if you use wep key.
I'm not sure what you use for wpa psk as I haven't really messed with that yet. and you don't need dhclient in there anywhere. and there is a space between inet and dhcp. _________________ Have a question search the forum and have a look at the KnoppMythWiki.

Hi both my eth0 and wlan where both working when I installed until I upgraded the kernel using the .conf file.....
but now my wlan netgear USB is not working
when I enter
/etc/init.d/wlan start
starting WLAN devices: FATAL: Module p80211 not found
Failed to load p80211.o
I use the code and edit but still not working
did the kernel not install the module? or do I need to edit something?

I had a similar issue, installed initially using eth0, then moved to tv room and use wlan0.
My problem now is that when the mythtv user logs in and trys to do anything from the main screen (six circles) the frontend hangs forever. I logged the ouput of mythfrontend, included below. Looks like myth is still looking for the (no longer existing) eth0, and hanging.
How to I tell myth that I'm using wlan0, not eth0?

In my experience, it always better to make sure to have EITHER eth0 OR wlan0, since they are most likely on the same exact subnet, and that seems to cause trouble (timeouts, etc.)
I've had both co-exist to debug stuff, but by setting eth0 to be on a different subnet, matching with a laptop connected to it over crossover Ethernet cable.
