[ug-aosug] Trouble with Broadcom 4311 (with NDIS 1.1) and DHCP/wificonfig/inetmenu

[Gustavo Reyes]

Hi Michael:

If snoop/ethereal don't show any activity in wireless cards, i think you are right.
If the origin of trouble were in transaction DHCP, would be some activity.

If there is no transmission, how helps me aircrak (distinct: "snoop -v -d bcmndis0"), how i must use this tool?

I did it last night with ethereal, or not?

After perform "wificonfig -i bcmndis0 connect GHRNET" or inetmenu (gui).
