Hello remix, not really to sure what the problem is from your post although this seems to standout "bcm43xx: Radio turned off". Are you able to just scan for AP's? eg. . You can see if the manual method would work as well. eg. | Code: | ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid Virus_db
iwconfig eth1 key 0XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0
dhcpcd eth1
|
I don't see an option to specify by mac id just essid so not sure how to go about doing that.

pretty painless...
