[ts-7000] TS7300 wireless problem

["Sudheendra" <>]

I have been trying to get wireless working on my TS7300 with the ZONET
ZEW2501 USB dongle. I am using the zd_b.o obtained from the
embeddedarm ftp server. 

This is what I do

>> ifconfig wlan0 up

Output of iwconfig

wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"XXX"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.462 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s

          Power Management:off

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:2091  Invalid misc:3040   Missed beacon:0



>> ifup wlan0
Operation failed.
Failed to bring up wlan0.



my /etc/network/interfaces has the following lines

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wireless-essid XXX
        wireless-mode Managed


This is what dmesg shows once I insert zd_b module

If anyone has been through this before, please let me know how you got
wireless working.

Thanks a lot for your time
