Today i was configuring a new testserver for PHP5 at my office, suddenly i noticed that even though i have a wifi enabled laptop that it is not capable to login to the internet using that. i use two operating systems in my laptop "Windows XP" and "Debian". most of the time i login to the debian account. but whenever im in the office i plug the network cable to my laptop.
but due to what happened today i had to log in to the windows account, and from there i configured the wireless network. wow surprisingly it connected to our office wireless network within minutes. so then i knew that there might be something which stopped me configuring it in my Linux account.
so once again i reboot the notebook and logged in to the debian account. and there i tried to connect to office wireless network. but i found that it is not working. and then when i dmesg i found an error code looks similar to "bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed."
and for this error i've installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter which ws a contrib package. then i thought the problem is resolved. and then i found the new network connection eth0 when i ifconfig.
bt nw when i execute "ifup eth0" it keeps saying "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13" and so on. and after six attempts it says "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."
i've used a static IP to replace DHCP even though it didnt worked.
i've installed kismet-server , airsnort , linux-wlan-ng. and then i tried to airsnort scan. bt it didnt worked too.
im still finding an answer for this. i'll update this topic as soon as i get the answer.
