[ts-7000] Problem with zd1211 usb wireless - can't get an IP address

["Dongyan Chen" <>]

Hi,

  I'm using a new TS7200 board with the IOGEAR wireless usb provided
by Technologic. I followed the instructions from the manual, and did
all the insmod stuff. Then I did "ifconfig wlan0 up" followed by
iwconfig wlan0 essid "MSHOME". Then I got the following:

:network# iwconfig wlan0 essid "MSHOME"
:network# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     802.11b/g NIC  ESSID:"MSHOME"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.437 GHz  Access Point: 00:0D:3A:2C:32:CE
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
          Retry:off   RTS thr=2432 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:63/100  Signal level:41/100  Noise level:7/100
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:42919  Invalid misc:14488   Missed beacon:0

:network# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:72:6A:E1:3F
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:46 errors:14393 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:14393
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:5567 (5.4 KiB)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

It looks like the wlan is working and has found the access point, but
can't get an IP address setup.. The config file under
/etc/network/interfaces is like:
:network# cat interfaces
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.138
        network 192.168.1.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.28
        network 192.168.0.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255

Anyone has a clue what's wrong or missing here? Thanks a lot!
