i tried these commands after and before running the command "ifconfig wlan0 up" ... btw when i run it the led from the wifidongle turns on but it doesnt blinks, it´s just turned on...

when i write : "ifup wlan0"
"ifup: ignoring uknown interface wlan0"

when i write: "iwlist wlan0 scan
"wlan0    interface doesnt support scanning"

"cat /var/log/messages | grep firmware" nothing appears....

"dmesg | grep firmware" nothing appears....

Regards,

Run iwconfig.
It's very strage ifconfig wlan0 up works but ifup wlan0 doesn't.

ok, i made it by iw wlan0 scan, the usb blinks and scans, and it gets my wifi net but then there is one last problem T.T

ok pls read this: when i type  "iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key WIRELESS_KEY"   btw my network id is "lol" and my wireless key is EF1923308FF252D253BB2FD8BD

this is the output:

" Error for wireless request "SET ESSID" (8B1A) :
     SET failed on device wlan0; operation not supported "

and i already tried

 "ifconfig wlan0 down"
"iwconfig wlan0 mode managed"
" ifconfig wlan0 up "
"airmon-ng wlan0 stop" btw airmon command not found... is not supported
the result is the same set failed .... not supported..

PD: sup jim :DD im ur biggest fan >.<

See how iwconfig says "no wireless extensions"? That means your linux doesn't know how to use the wireless via iwconfig yet. Something else is wrong (probably driver-related)

i have the kernel of vogtinator, and i did this http://ourl.ca/17509;msg=271357
to get the firmware of that wifidongle

i think it should be driver problem because of the no wireless extensions
yet i dont know how to compile kernel and buildroot T.T
when i try the tutorial of vogt i fail.... im noob xd
can someone help me out there

btw, what if i change my wifi dongle, or can i use a usb modem??? any idea?
in the video where tangrs uses links with his calculator, i saw that he has a d-link wifi..... i think thats a dongle, but i see its always blinking, mine doesnt blinks....

If we can't get any error messages, we can only guess what's the cause.

That's only a symptom..
My next guess would be: Are you using WPA?
It's not supported directly by the kernel, only through wpa_supplicant.
So try to use WEP or no encryption at all to test it.
