Curious naming convention. eth0 has an IP address consistent with default on Home Hub - does this mean it is/was plugged into the network with a cable? > wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:e3:d0:d9:34 > UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) > > wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr > 00-16-E3-D0-D9-34-65-74-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) > ubuntu:/home/jondavey# netstat -nr > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface > 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 This looked right except it is "eth0" the wired not the wireless that is connected to the Home hub. Are you connecting wirelessly, and with a wire at the same time, as that will confuse the logic of networking.... > This is how it looks after I installed the firmware; > ubuntu:/home/jondavey# ip addr list > 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN > link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 > inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo > inet6 ::1/128 scope host > valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever > 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen > 1000 > link/ether 00:a0:d1:6b:b0:80 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > inet 192.168.1.65/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 > inet6 fe80::2a0:d1ff:fe6b:b080/64 scope link > valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever > 3: wmaster0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ieee80211 state > UNKNOWN qlen 1000 > link/ieee802.11 00:16:e3:d0:d9:34 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > 4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN > qlen 1000 > link/ether 00:16:e3:d0:d9:34 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > ubuntu:/home/jondavey# -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
