 Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 1:38 am Post subject: pcmcia wireless network card |
 |
|
I have a linksys wireless card. I have enable the yenta pcmcia thing.
it recognizes the card. I run iwconfig and no matter what it will not accept the ap setting; SO, I cannot connect at all. I can tell it rate, key, essid, but it does not accept the specific ap nor the "any" switch for ap. So I can't get the card to work.
Lets assume we get the thing to work throught the next couple messages, how do I then save the settings so I don't have to manually configure it every time?
Thanks guys.
Dan

I'm curious if it an AP specific restriction that is preventing your to associate. Does it use WEP? Does it filter by MAC? Both of these things could be detering you from associating. How are you associating?
| Code: | | iwconfig eth1 essid "YOUR_AP" enc off |
as an example for a non-WEP AP.
For the second question.. I would recommend wireless-config to maintain your settings.
Here is a to the info needed:

It uses WEP. I just assumed by entering key blahblahblah that is enough. Iwconfig accepts the key, but NOT the ap.
I will take a look at the link you sent me.
Thanks
